Yes, you can but I'm not sure why you would want to because you cannot be garnished.

You can file. Whether it's a good idea or not for you is obviously something I cannot judge. Retaining an experienced bankruptcy lawyer is almost always worth the investment.

You probably can file for bankruptcy, but a better question would be whether you should. You provide no information that would allow me to offer an opinion on that issue, which should be the first one to ask.

I don't see why not from the facts. If you own real property, we'd have to analyze whether it is beneficial for you to file even though you qualify.

Yes you can. Your Social Security is not part of the B22 Means test, so you should be fine.

You can but it probably doesn't make good sense, your SSDI can't be garnished and your car was already repo'ed. How will a bankruptcy benefit you?
