The Law regarding IRS Levies and Social Security and Disability
Social Security Benefits Eligible for the Federal Payment Levy Program
Through the Federal Payment Levy Program (FPLP), Social Security benefit payments outlined in Title II of the Social Security Act, Federal Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance Benefits, are subject to the 15-percent levy, to pay your delinquent tax debt.
Benefit payments, such as lump sum death benefits, benefits paid to children, and special benefits for persons aged 72 and over by 1971, however, will not be included in the FPLP.
Additionally, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments, under Title XVI, and payments with partial withholding to repay a debt owed to Social Security will not be levied through the FPLP.
Before your Social Security benefits are included in the FPLP, the Internal Revenue Service will send you a final notice of intent to levy, with appeal rights, if one has not already been issued.
If the IRS doesn’t hear from you, or if you have already received this notice, the IRS will send you an additional notice CP 91 or CP 298, Final Notice Before Levy on Social Security Benefits, explaining that your Social Security benefits may be levied.
You have 30 days from the date of an IRS notice to make arrangements to pay your tax debt before the IRS begins deducting 15 percent from your monthly benefit.
Because the FPLP is used to satisfy tax debts, the IRS may levy your Social Security benefits regardless of the amount. This is different from the 1996 Debt Collection Improvement Act which states that the first $750 of monthly Social Security benefits is off limits to satisfy non-tax debts.
Fifteen percent of the Social Security benefit will be levied through the FPLP regardless of whether or not the remaining benefit sent to you is less than $750.
