My brother pays child support and hes behind (of course) so every years they take his income tax check which?

Question

is a beautiful thing. My neice deserves the money. He was wondering if he would recieve the simulates check or will they take that also? He said a friend said he got his and hes on child support. I told him he wont but i thought i would ask. thanks

Answer 1

I was supposed to receive my ex's stimulus check because he is about 5,000 behind, but he got it. And of course kept it for himself instead of turning it over to the courts:(

Answer 2

The stimulus check is treated like any other refund for offset purposes, so no he shouldn't get it.

Answer 3

I don't think he will get it.

Answer 4

They only take tax refunds & this stimulus payment thing when you are BEHIND.  So, this other guy that got his obviously isn't behind on his child support.  BUT, if you brother is behind at least $500 they WILL take his tax refund and/or stimulus payment.  It's not that fact that he pays support that they are taking these things, it's because he's behind.

Answer 5

his friend may be on child support but may not be in arrearages if that's the case that's why he got his,your brother won't since he owes back pay.

edit~~ @mamabecca and the poster who asked the question,if someone does owe backpay and still gets their refund/rebate it may be that they slipped through the cracks and their ss# hasn't been flagged.

@mamabecca find out if his ss# hasn't been flagged by whoever is handling your case and if not request that it does get flagged so you can receive his refund next year,a d**n shame!

Answer 6

Probably not, but there are always system errors!!
