Income WithholdingOrder/NoticeIncome withholding is the court oradministratively ordered deduction of a specified amount from a parent’s incomefor payment of child support. All employers must honor an income withholdingorder/notice for child support from any state. Out-of-state income withholdingorders/notices are valid throughout the country including US Territories. Allstates are required to use a standardized withholding form entitledOrder/Notice to Withhold Income for Child Support (OMB No. 0970-0154). A child support income withholdingorder/notice must be paid before all other garnishments, with one exception.The only exception is a Federal (IRS) tax levy entered prior to when the childsupport order was established. It is the date the child support order isestablished, and not the date the withholding order/notice is served on theemployer, that determines precedence. The employer deducts the specifiedamount of child support each pay period and sends it to the: StateCollection and Disbursement Unit (SCaDU)
