"California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order on Thursday protecting most Californians receiving federal, state, or local government financial assistance in response to the CCP virus pandemic from having their funds garnished by debt collectors.
“The executive order denies the ability for debt collectors to garnish your CARES Act dollars,” Newsom said at a press briefing Thursday. “If you’re a debt collector and you did garnish those contributions, those checks, you gotta give them back.”"
