009.05 INTERCEPTED, WITHHELD, OR GARNISHED INCOME.

Procedures have been set up to withhold unemployment compensation benefits payable to an absent parent when he or she has a debt to the State. If income, earned or unearned, is being garnished, the garnishment is not deducted from income to determine eligibility. If unearned income is being reduced because of a previous overpayment, the amount of the benefit before the deduction of the overpayment is considered as income.
