Unemployment tax refunds may be seized for unpaid debt, taxes and student loans

"The IRS will start issuing tax refunds on unemployment benefits this week. But some people may see a smaller refund — or none at all.

The lesser amounts will apply to those who have past-due debts, like federal and state taxes, child support, student loans and unemployment benefits that were paid in error, according to the IRS. The federal government can use tax refunds to offset overdue bills."
