Stimulus checks diverted -- on purpose!

Nearly $2 million worth of economic stimulus checks have been diverted, and this time, it's no mistake.

According to this USA Today story, the U.S. Treasury Department intercepted a whole lot of checks from folks who haven't paid child support, student loans and overdue taxes. The money is going to agencies (and eventually individuals) who have no doubt gone too long without the money they are due.

Taxpayers who didn't get a their checks are being notified in letters, the article states. Of course, they still get to keep livin' the life of a deadbeat parent or overdue-bill havin' U.S. citizen.

Yet another reminder to keep my economic stimulus going and get my finances in order. I don't want someone else to get to do it for me. Sphere: Related Content
