Treasury attorneys review bank seizures of $1,200 aid checks

I wouldn't care if my bank took my check and applied it to my credit card balance [which is up-to-date [and at 0%]], but I do not need the money. I just plan on paying down my balance anyway. Few things in my life are the way that I want them, but there are definitely people in worse positions:

A mother of five living in a domestic abuse shelter sought legal help because she was unable to receive her check due to a frozen account. Because court services have been reduced, her initial hearing date was not scheduled until June.
Quote:
Treasury was warned weeks ago about the potential danger of letting the payments be siphoned off. On April 9, Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) sent a joint letter to Mnuchin urging him to prevent the funds from going to private collectors settling prior debts.
