WHY IS THE IRS TAKING MY STIMULUS CHECK AND SENDING IT TO CHILD SUPPORT?

<div id="collapseOne" class="panel-collapse collapse in" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="headingOne">
<div class="panel-body">
<p>You are/were under a court order and failed to pay that order in full, so you owe past due child support. Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security <strong> (CARES) ACT </strong>in March 2020. The CARES Act authorized stimulus payments to eligible individuals. It also mandates the stimulus checks be intercepted for individuals who owe past due child support. The past due amount may be due to the state or to the custodial parent. </p>

WHY WAS MY NAME SUBMITTED TO THE IRS IN THE FIRST PLACE?
</a>
</h4>
</div>
<div id="collapseTwo" class="panel-collapse collapse" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="headingTwo">
<div class="panel-body">
<p>Child support agencies are required to submit names of those who owe past due child support for the IRS Tax Offset Program if certain criteria are met. The criteria:</p>
<ul>
<li>if you owe $150.00 in state arrears
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>and/or $500 in arrears due the custodial parent.
</li>
</ul>
<p><b>There is one list that is submitted to Treasury for everything: </b>IRS refund offsets, and stimulus with dependency benefits. We cannot submit a name for IRS offset and exclude it for stimulus. It is mandatory for <b>ALL</b> cases that meet the criteria. </p>

THE CUSTODIAL PARENT RECEIVED A SEPARATE STIMULUS PAYMENT. WHY IS MINE BEING INTERCEPTED?
</a>
</h4>
</div>
<div id="collapseThree" class="panel-collapse collapse" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="headingThree">
<div class="panel-body">
<p>Because you owe child support to the custodial parent for a prior period for your children. The CARES Act passed by Congress states that you cannot receive your stimulus if you owe child support.</p>

</h4>
</div>
<div id="collapseFour" class="panel-collapse collapse" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="headingFour">
<div class="panel-body">
<p>You owe child support for the period your children were receiving RI Works assistance. The federal distribution rules tell the Office of Child Support Services <i>(OCSS)</i> how stimulus payments received from Treasury will be applied. The rules <b>require that state arrears must be paid first, in full,</b> before the custodial parent is paid what they are owed.</p> </div>

WHAT IF I FILE AN INDIVIDUAL TAX RETURN? HOW WILL THIS WORK?
</a>
</h4>
</div>
<div id="collapseFive" class="panel-collapse collapse" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="headingFive">
<div class="panel-body">
<p>If you owe past due child support, and you file a single tax return, Treasury will send the Office of Child Support Services <i>(OCSS)</i> the federal refund called an offset, or your stimulus money, and the dependency benefit (even for another child).</p>
<p>
Our system will apply all that is received to the past due support you owe. If you owe state arrears, state arrears will be paid first, because that is what the the federal distribution rules require.</p>
<p>Any money in excess will be refunded to you. Refunds may take up to sixty days following our receipt of the money to be processed.
