The short answer
Yes, part of it. The Federal Payment Levy Program can take up to 15% of certain Social Security payments, or the exact amount owed if that is less. The IRS usually sends a CP90 or CP297 notice first, with your right to a hearing.
Payments are left out if you set up another way to pay or the IRS finds you are in hardship.
