does child support payments come out of florida unemployment?

I was laid off from my job, and my child support payments stopped, I was granted FLA, unemployment, But I was wondering if child support payments were deducted. From FLA Unemployment. Thank you for any answers.... Kelly Rider

Per the FL website:

"The Agency for Workforce Innovation does not determine if child support should be deducted from benefits. The child support information is received from the Department of Revenue. When our agency receives information from the Department of Revenue, then our agency begins deducting the amount of child support as directed by the Department of Revenue. If you have questions concerning child support relating to unemployment compensation benefits, please contact the Department of Revenue toll free at 1-800-622-5437."

So yes, they will deduct payments as soon as they are notified of the amount.
