[ParanoidTimes] Your Coronavirus Check Is Coming. Your Bank Can Grab It



Your Coronavirus Check Is Coming. Your Bank Can Grab It.
Regulators have given banks the green light to use stimulus funds to pay off debts that individuals owe them.
by David Dayen, April 14, 2020

This week, the $1,200 CARES Act payments Congress approved in response to the coronavirus crisis will begin to appear in Americans' bank accounts. The funds will be wired to eligible recipients who previously authorized the IRS to post their refunds (or Social Security payments) through direct deposit. This will speed relief far more quickly than having the IRS mail a check, which could take up to five months.

But the money may not make it into the hands of those who need it to pay bills, buy food, or just survive amid mass unemployment and widespread suffering. Individuals might first have to fend off their own bank, which has just been given the power to seize the $1,200 payment and use it to pay off outstanding debt.

Congress did not exempt CARES Act payments from private debt collection, and the Treasury Department has been reluctant to exempt them through its rulemaking authority. This means that individuals could see their payments transferred from their hands into the hands of their creditors, potentially leaving them with nothing.
