Can an Individual Who Is in Arrears on Child Support Payments Have His/her Bank Account Frozen?

I am a volunteer providing financial literacy education to low-income individuals in the United States. The current individuals are men recovering from drug addiction in a half-way house. Their path to recovery includes eventually obtaining employment and beginning to rebuild their finances. One goal is opening a bank account.

One of the men used to have his wages garnished for child support payments and never opened a bank account in fear that the account balance would be seized to satisfy his overdue amounts. Knowing whether this could happen and any web resources available for further research would help very much.
