Can child support Take SSI stimulus check?
SSI (Supplemental Security Income) disability payments are made to people who have a very low income. These payments cannot be garnished for child support payments. SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) payments, however, can be garnished to fulfill child support obligations.
Can child support take your stimulus?
Our source is the Cares Act. It says the federal government cannot take the stimulus checks for most debt, like past taxes or student debt. However, if you owe child support or other private debt to collectors—the checks can be seized to pay for those. It will be collected from your stimulus check.
Will I get the second stimulus check if I owe child support?
If you owe child support, the IRS can use first-round stimulus check money to pay arrears. That won’t be the case for second-round payments under the HEROES Act. In addition, second-round stimulus money wouldn’t be taken to pay back taxes or other debts owed to the federal or a state government.
Are we going to get a second stimulus check?
No, the second stimulus package has not passed, yet. The House of Representatives did pass the $2.2 trillion HEROES Act, but it failed in the Senate. Instead, the Senate pushed for a narrower, $500 billion aid package, which they failed to pass at the end of October.
