Michigan residents who owe child support won’t see their stimulus checks.

Michigan’s Department of Health and Human Services says, due to a federal requirement, stimulus payments to noncustodial parents who owe child support will be redirected to custodial parents and children.

The intercepted funds from the CARES Act will be collected in the same way that federal tax refunds are, by the IRS, and distributed in the same way.

Those funds will begin to be distributed the week of April 20.
