I remember in 2001 when they last did this type of rebate check, that part of our check was kept as garnishment for student loan payment. So more then likely they can and will keep this rebate check to offset any federal payment that is due. ------------- For offset purposes, the stimulus payment is treated like any other tax refund. This means that part or all of your payment can be used to pay past-due federal or state income taxes or non-tax federal debt such as student loans and child support.
