Re: False testimony given to collect monies via Child Support Agencies

If you're referring to temporary public assistance benefits which a parent is receiving in behalf of a child or children fromm the Va. Dept of Social Services, the answer is ,no, these monies are not subjec to garnishment, for reasons which should be obvious.

However, the Division of Child Support Enforcement

(DCSE)which is part of the Va. Dept. of Social Services is legally empowered to issue its own administrative garnishments to collect delinquent child support or to make requests to similar agencies located in other states to issue such garnishments against the wages of individuals living there who owe back child support to

parents with children residing in Virginia.
