They can freeze the account, but thet can't keep your unemployment income. You have to prove to them that it is unemployment income by getting copies of your bank statements showing the unemployment income.

Yes, they can. Interstate child support collections laws allow states to work together to collect child support. They can issue a wage garnishment, freeze 401k, freeze bank accounts and pretty much any asset you have in the United States. I know this based on experience. BTW the state of New York will approve. States don't contest proven debt. Its like when the IRS wants their money they will get it, so will the child support collections agency and they have the same resources.
