They can, but they shouldn't.

Unfortunately, your only remedies are:

1. Get the AG to withdraw the withholding order on your part-time job. Start by writing them a letter, and then follow up with phone calls. Good luck.

2. The other way is to go to Court and ask a Judge to ORDER them not to double-dip.
