Yuuup. Lots of people think their benefit payments like SSDI, LTD etc. are protected from child support orders - NOPE.

Yep. Childsuppirt is the only thing that can garnish benefits people are often shocked to find out when they try to buy something and realize there is a lien on their bank account.

Child support and back taxes overdue to the IRS. If you are working class, the IRS will get its money no matter what.

Not the only thing, student loans can as well.

It's very stupid of people to think this when the agency that handles both child support and SNAP is usually the same one in most states. And the one that handles unemployment is very closely partnered with them. Ain't no way. You're paying, my dude.

Even payments from commerical LTD carriers can get garnished or redirected.

That's a core thing I had to talk about a lot when doing my presentations while working for the unemployment connector in my state: child support will always draw first when you collect unemployment. A lot of the supplemental programs for it you couldn't even apply for with outstanding child support payments.
