A2. Your Payment will be offset if you owe past-due child support.
If your payment was offset to pay your spouse’s past-due child support, you don’t need to take any action to receive your portion of it. The IRS conducted several recoveries to ensure spouses were issued their portion of the payment when their spouse owed past due child support. The last recovery was implemented in November and payments would have been directly deposited on November 25 or issued as a check with a date of November 27. You can verify the status of your payment by accessing the Get My Payment application
