There is a difference between disability and social security. When you retire and pull social security it does not matter how much money you have in the bank. Also many people have retirement funds and pension that they get. Social Security does have a cap on how much you can continue to work and earn, that is a percentage of how much you get from Social Security.

People’s Court isn’t a regular court, and is actually an arbitration. I’m not sure what happens if the person doesn’t pay what’s ordered, but I’d hope the victim of their actions to not stick to the ruling would prompt them to notify the legal system of their breech. You sign a contract agreeing to honor the outcome of the arbitration when you participate in it.
