Hello ****,
In general, child support and SSI benefits are separate. However, there are exceptions. It's important to note:
- SSI (Supplemental Security Income) is generally protected from garnishment.
- However, if you owe child support, some of your SSI benefits might be garnished.
This is a complex issue and you should consult with a legal professional in Michigan.
Ok well how do I find that out if it is going to be garnished
To find out if your SSI back pay is being garnished, you can:
- Contact your local Social Security office
- Check your bank statements for deductions
- Consult with a legal professional in Michigan.
Remember, this is just a general direction, and for detailed advice, you should consult a legal professional.
