Rebate checks diverted to pay 2 billion in debts.


By Dennis Cauchon, USA TODAY

About $2 billion in economic stimulus rebate checks are being confiscated to pay overdue bills for child support, students loans and back taxes, the government says.

So far, 1.8 million rebate checks have been intercepted by Treasury Department computers showing that individuals owe money to federal or state governments.
The biggest beneficiaries: parents who are owed child support.
