Most likely yes, they can, depending on what he does with the monies and your state law. Child support arrears can be a lien against inheritance and like any creditor, can attach a bank account once the money is depositied. But intercepting the funds before they actually hit his account can be difficult even if state law allows. Speak with the child support agency in your state. Good luck.
