Legal question re: CS (BGG, please come in if you're here)

I may DD later, but please advise if you can:

So, I still get email alerts from SD's Fidelity 401(k) account.  I just got an alert saying that his withdrawal request is being processed a check for his entire account balance (approximately $9K) is being sent to his address of record in next 7-10 days. 

So my question is: can this be intercepted for CS back support (which SD owes over $14K).  It was my understanding that, when it was in the plan, it couldn't be touched.  Well, now he's taking the distribution so I would think and HOPE it would be fair game, although I'm not certain if that is the case or not.

 I know that SD is NOT withdrawing this amount with plans to pay off the energy bill or attempt to make a dent in his CS balance.  I am not sure what his intentions are for the money but I'm sure they can't be good.

Advice on this?  I emailed my caseworker, waiting to hear back.
