Will the Biden administration allow debt collectors to garnish the covid stimulus money to pay

[LiberalArkie]

for debts.

1. How much actual control does President Biden have over that dilemma?

?
Any?

[LiberalArkie]

2. It can be marked a certain way so that it can not be touched. I think the $1200 or $600 was set that

way. Maybe not classed as income did it. I don't know.

3. I hope the fuck not

People need to eat,pay urgent bills.

Fuck debt collectors.

4. The only thing that could hold up the first 2 payments

was owing child support, and that would have been through each state's Attorney General's office. The debt collects can go pound sand.

5. The $1200 was not protected but the $600 was. I guess we will have to wait and see.

The December 2020 legislation requires banks to code second stimulus payments in a way that protects them from being garnished, including for child support, from debt collectors, and for federal debts.
