Behind on child support payments? You might not get a stimulus check, senator says.

If you’re behind on child support payments, you might not receive your coronavirus stimulus check, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley wrote.

Grassley, a Republican senator who heads the federal finance committee, wrote that people who owe back taxes or money to a federal or state agency will not see a reduction in their stimulus checks. It’s a different story if you owe money for child support, however.

“The bill turns off nearly all administrative offsets that ordinarily may reduce tax refunds for individuals who have past tax debts, or who are behind on other payments to federal or state governments, including student loan payments,” Grassley, who helped write the bill, wrote on his website. “The only administrative offset that will be enforced applies to those who have past due child support payments that the states have reported to the Treasury Department.”

A 1996 law states the Treasury Department can withhold federal payments to people who are overdue on child support payments, NBC News reported.

President Donald Trump signed the stimulus bill, called the CARES Act, into law Friday. Most American adults will receive $1,200, $2,400 per couple and $500 per child (16 and under.)

The White House said it hopes to get out payments for the $2.2 trillion package by April 6, but it could take a month or more to receive them, according to Fortune magazine.
