Yes, and because this is back pay and not the current benefit, I believe it's possible that the State could take it all.
If this involves SSD, than no as there's also an SSD retroactive child benefit check.
Even with no arrears, at the request of the Obligee.
can the state of maryland garnish my government disability check for back taxes owed the state of maryland ?no they cannot, u.s.gov. disability or social security cannot be garnished, Except for child support and Federal TAXES.
For arrears, yes. see links below
In NYS yes.
Yes, as can spousal support and federal tax arrears.
Yes; typically, payment on arrears is a percentage of the payment for current support.
It would depend? Are you in arrears on a support order? If so, then the arrears will continue to be garnished over the ordered amount. If you are not in arrears, your first step would be to reach out to the court or agency that holds your support order and ask that they modify their withholding order.
yes
Any back pay money you receive from Social Security will go towards your child support arrears. Although I don't know if they will take as much as they need or just a percentage. thanks for the answer. but i am not receiving back pay only my children will the back pay money that my ex- wife receive for the kids go toward my arrears
Certainly. However, the bank account may get garnished or attached by the court to pay back amounts.
SSD and other Social Security benefits are exempt by federal law from garnishment by judgment creditors. The exception is IRS garnishment for tax arrearages and court ordered child support. Private disability benefits such as WIC are generally exempt as well, but state laws determine if they are exempted in total or percentage. Social Security benefits can and are garnished for past due child support. SSI cannot be garnished.
You can receive federal aid if child support is in arrears. T
