  > Were stimulus payments instituted to indirectly pay the companies that own hospitals? No. But someone noticed stimulus payments were coming, looked up the debtors who owed amounts close to the stimulus amount and sent off aides to harass those people into turning over the money.

    This is exactly what happened, due to a deficiency in statute. > Under the bill governing the second stimulus check, your funds could not be garnished to pay debts like child support, banks or private creditors. However, part of this rule changed with the third check. > The bill authorizing the third payout was pushed through using a process called budget reconciliation. Congressional Democrats used this legislative tool to more quickly pass the new COVID-19 relief bill and the third stimulus check that comes with it, since it allowed them to pass it with fewer votes. But because this process was used, the third checks aren't protected from all garnishment, although lawmakers are moving to fix this now. https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/your-third-stimulus-check-can-be-seized-heres-what-to-know/ https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/your-third-stimulus-ch...
