Internal Revenue

QUICK QUESTION HERE:

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW DOES THE US INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE HAVE THE LEGAL POWER, RIGHT AND ABILITY TO SEIZE A VETERANS MONTHLY CASH DISABILITY COMP IF HE OWES UNPAID FEDERAL TAXES

CAN THE IRS ISSUE A "levy" AND THEN GARNISH RIGHT OUT OF THE VETS SAVINGS OR CHECK DEBIT ACCOUNT?????????

I THOUGHT THE LAW SAID SOMETHING LIKE VETERANS CASH BENEFITS ARE NOT ATTACHABLE BY ANY COURT

I THINK FOR CHILD SUPPORT THEY CAN STATE FEDERAL OR LOCAL

JUST SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IN THE BACK OF MY MIND AS FAR AS THE IRS IS CONCERNED

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP AND GUIDANCE

If a veteran owes the US Government any funds, the government can and will garnish a veterans disability check, tax refund, and in some cases a government retirement check. Its the law. It doesn't take a court for the US government to garnish a federal payment, the government just doesn't pay....

You have it about right. Veterans benefit compensation funds are "protected" from garnishment from other creditors so that the VA and IRS can get it all. The VA and IRS dont want to have to "compete" with other creditors trying to garnish your checks. It amounts to the government seizing Veterans monies, while preventing others from doing the same all while escaping "due process".
