What blows my mind is that this guy is still walking the streets (am i assuming?) I pay child support for my son and I was having a rough patch a few months ago. I was a month and a half behind and they froze ALL OF MY ASSETS. I contacted them and they said they wanted payment immediately. I told them they just froze the money that I need access to. They didn't care. I had to borrow the money from my business partner and pay it. They unfroze the assets and I paid my partner back. They are really cracking down on child support. It's the first time I missed a payment ever. I understand wanting to nail "deadbeat dads" but this is a bit extreme, IMOO. I don't like anyone having that much control over my money. I put everything in my girlfriends name and they won't be able to do a damn thing to me if i'm just a little late next time. (I obviously don't want to be late ever again but life does happen from time to time and I don't want someone having access to anything with my name on it.)

I didn't see that in the link, maybe I missed it. I'll take your word for it. I do recall hearing that this was in fact the case, if not why is the IRS handling it?

Yes, it is a joke. My stimulus check went to pay, other taxes.

So let me get this straight,, Basic eligibility requirements
•Individuals or families must have at least $3,000 in qualifying income, which can be income from or in combination with Social Security benefits, Veterans Affairs benefits, Railroad Retirement benefits and earned income....So what they are telling me is that the only "income" we have, which is interest from money we have in the bank, is NOT considered income??? If so, than, WHY are we taxed on it. If our interest money is good enough to be taxed, than why is it not good enough to qualify us for the stimulas payment????
