Deductions & credits

While the CARES Act suspends debts like overdue student loans or back taxes that typically lead to the garnishment of tax refunds, it doesn't apply to delinquent child support payments.

 

That means the government's relief checks will still be offset if you're overdue.

 

The offsets apply to the spouse's stimulus payments as well, even if they typically qualify for relief in situations like tax refunds.
