Can the bankruptcy courts or trustee withhold my rebate tax stumulus check?

Momof2 asked:

I am filing bankruptcy on June 1, 2008 and am expected to receive my rebate stimulus check in July. Can the bankruptcy courts take my check to pay my creditors?

   they can’t take your check but they can put a lien on your checking account. If you have direct deposit say bye to your stimulus. Cash it at a different bank or currency exchange…

   Yes, they can. I am surprised your trustee has not told you to bring it directly to him as soon as you get it.
