Intercepting tax refunds

The Child Support program uses intercepted tax returns to pay past-due support (child support , family support, maintenance (alimony), medical support), as well as interest, fees, and other debts such as birth expenses paid by the Medicaid or BadgerCare Plus program.

Important to Know:

Intercepted federal tax refunds must first pay assigned support. Past-due support and debts may be "assigned" to the state if the family received cash benefits from W-2, SSI Caretaker Supplement, Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), or Kinship Care programs. If the Medicaid or BadgerCare Plus program paid for your child’s birth costs, the debt is also assigned to the state.
