Firstly, you should be present in the court on the hearing date, else the creditor may bring a default judgment against you.
Secondly, you should check whether the SOL on the debt has expired or not before you visit the court. If the SOL has expired, you are not legally liable to pay back the debt and you can produce this fact before the court to avoid judgment.
Thirdly, although it is true that your ss benefit can never be garnished, you should avoid judgment as it affects your credit score badly.
Can you please tell us the date of your last payment and the state you live in?

While your benefits can not be garnished, your bank account CAN. Do you have a job? Your State Benefits are not garnishable, but your income from your job is (provided you have one)

I would show up to court with a lawyer, if you can.
