Your second stimulus check is not subject to reduction or offset to pay back taxes child support or other debts owed to the federal or a state government.
Ssi stimulus check and child support. However your stimulus check is not considered an ssi benefit. If you owed child support your first stimulus money could be taken for arrears the amount you owe. So while the irs has not made an official comment on this issue i believe the irs will offset stimulus checks to ssi benefit recipients for child support.
For example if you owed 2 000. It is a refundable tax credit. That means it should not fall under the exception.
With the second check those who owe child support will not have their payment garnished to. With the first stimulus check if you owed child support payments by as much as 150 the government gave states the right to garnish the amount you needed to pay.
