Question about the $1200 Stimulus Check

Why would you expect to receive money from someone that you owe money to?

I put that statement in the same category as Trump saying he didn’t understand why people who need money don’t just go borrow it from their parents. I could be wrong attributing that statement to Trump but If it wasn’t him it was someone in his administration. My point is, to just assume everyone has $4,000 to immediately shell out is extremely presumptive.

But you borrowed $4k....

You were given $4,000 so its not presumptive that you may have $4,000. In fact its silly to assume that you don't have $4,000 given the state of the economy up until about a week ago.

What happened? Tell your story.

Also do you just spend all day at the library? how are you on the internet so much?

I wasn’t only given 4K, the remaining balance is 4K. Already paid 21K

That really doesn’t matter. My question was will they take the stimulus check if you are delinquent on a Parent Plus loan.

The poster took out a loan, and apparently, he did not follow through with the terms of the loan agreement. The poster did not STEAL, and it is not THEFT. There is civil recourse.

You know what's actually theft? TAXES.

This is comical.

First, taking money from someone and purposely not paying them back is theft. That was the intent of the OP, to steal.

Secondly we all receive things back from the government for our taxes paid. We are paying in to a subscription service like Netflix or Spotify. You do not need to pay into this service, there are numerous other options available to you.

It’s not theft. And stop raping boys.

You only owe $4 grand? Why not just pay that sh!t today and be done with it?

It’s imbecilic.

Well so far all we have had is a bunch of hateful jackweeds giving their opinions about something they know nothing about and attacking the OP because, as we know, all the other posters here sh!t $100 dollar bills out their a55.

I am thinking not. Admin doesn't want bad press especially in election year. And that would be bad press. Remember, this is a national emergency.

Georgia, assuming this was a school loan, can you share with us what her degree was in and what it led to career wise.

Just curious. Thanks.

What are you talking about? I answered their question in my first post.

I am not attacking the OP, I am looking for an explanation as to why s/he is in this situation.

Was s/he robbed himself? Was s/ he unjustly jailed? Did s/he lose his job to corporate greed? Did a fire kill their small business?

I think right now we need to hear these stories about people struggling and to give our sympathies to them.

OP cannot pay down their debt. This is someone likely homeless during this health crisis. Has no health insurance and cannot find a second or third job in this economy. This is a tragedy.

I am not sure how to do it, but does someone want to start a go fund me?

If what I read is true, my wife and I won't even qualify because our AGI is just barely over the limit. Though to be honest, I can at least say that $2400 wouldn't change a thing for us. Just sit in an account somewhere.

So you make a combined $200k? Then you don't really need it. You can weather this storm without it.

Our tax return was taken this year because of an unpaid Parent Plus loan for my daughter from many years ago. My question is will they take IRS or child support offsets out of the stimulus checks???

We still owe about $4,000.

It will mean you owe 2800 if you make sure the payment is made.

No stimulus check wont even be counted as income. Democrats were terrified it might knock some people off the welfare rolls if they made too much money.

Why is this even a thread? I thought all lets run people made 250k and run 15min 5k? No way any of us should be eligible given the income limits on the stimulus checks.

My wife is a child support enforcement worker. If they have a intercept for your tax refund, it would apply to other payments as well, unless there is a specific provision in the law that exempts it. I don't think the law has even passed, much less filtered down to the implementation level. But I don't think you should count on that check.

I don't know anything about the loans, as her agency does not do that kind of collection, but I would think the same principles would apply.

So, just to circle around and clarify, now that things have shake out a bit...

It will be intercepted if you owe back child support. It will not be used to offset IRS tax debt or other loans.

Mine is going to an assisted living center to help preserve our parents and grandparents.

Trump's job approval boost will collapse soon. He can only maintain that boost while allowing people to stay home from work and sending them Trump signed checks. There won't be a second check coming.

I could use the $1200, but since I will soon have a regular social security check, I will donate that money (and not take a tax write off for it) to some small local business which I can see are suffering, and to an assisted living home where my father stayed the last year of his life.

Sorry that you have to face this type of behavior from people. In this day age, people just want to condemn and judge because that is what they are programmed to do. Put themselves down while pushing themselves up.

I don’t know your situation or why you are in it, whether it is due to health, etc.

As far as your question, they will garnish or keep your stimulus check for child support payments. They already stated it. They will not keep your check for back taxes or anything related to that.
