Child Support: Federal vs State Law Compliance
To bring a national standard to child support withholding laws, the Federal government has enacted laws that require states to adopt certain rules when setting their own standards for implementing child support requirements. These requirements include deadlines for withholding and remitting payments, filing procedures, and penalties and fines for violations. Payroll departments must know both the federal laws and the state laws and must determine which one applies to the child support withholding order. In addition to these laws and regulations, the federal rules now require that a standard Income Withholding Order (IWO) be used for all child support withholding garnishments.
In this webinar expert speaker Vicki Lambert will review this form and its requirements. And although the IWO can include all the information necessary to comply with the order, employers must familiarize themselves with both federal and state regulations to avoid penalties and liabilities. Withholding money for child support is not the only requirement that applies to providing for a child, medical support orders are required to be process by payroll as well. This webinar will give examples of calculating child support.
