No Stimulus Check For Oklahomans Owing Child Support

Oklahomans owing back child support won't get their stimulus checks.

Up to 130,000 people in the state will have their money intercepted by the Treasury Department then sent to the Department of Human Services. DHS will then distribute the funds to pay for any debts owed on public assistance and then as past-due child support.

For Oklahomans who owe child support, but filed a joint income tax return, the entire stimulus check for the household could be intercepted.
