Legal Question in Social Security Law in New York

withdrawing money from SS account in a bank

Hello.

My uncle owes money to Discover Card Bank. He's an account with the same bank where he receives SS checks.

Can anybody (including Discover Card Bank or its representatives, lawyers, etc.) take money from my uncle's account without his authorization?

Thank you.
