(http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cse/pol/PIQ/2007/piq-07-01.htm)

(http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cse/pol/PIQ/2006/piq-06-01.htm)
Last yearâ¿¿s active hurricane season has generated some questions about what disaster related payments may be offset and/or withheld for purposes of child support enforcement. As discussed below, while Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) disaster relief payments are not available for offset, we have identified two types of payments that may be available for withholding/garnishment. These payments include disaster unemployment assistance in accordance with 45 CFR 302.65 and hazardous duty payments in accordance with 5 CFR 581.103.
