Illinois law regarding liens and bank accounts funded with federal student loan dollars: Can child support enforcement take federal student loan money to pay past due child support? A lien was placed on my bank account, and within that account I had federal student loan money. I know that the federal gov't won't intercept student loans to pay child support, but can the state?? - Is this your question? Add additional information

Most likely. I suggest that you work with the attorney who handled your child support case. If that is not possible (due to expense, can’t locate lawyer, etc.), you can contact IL Division of Child Support. They should be able to help you:

Yes. The state can and will put liens on bank accounts. The fact that such funds were given by the federal government to pay for college will not stop the lein.

I suggest you file for an hearing under the administrative hearing process as fast as possible. My thought is that you will not win though.
