Employers and financial institutions need to follow these regulations to facilitate timely child support payments.

For Employers
After you receive a Notice to Payor/Income Provider to Withhold Obligor Income/Assets, you must begin withholding that employee’s income for child support no later than the first pay period that occurs after 14 working days following the date the Notice to Withhold was mailed.

Payments shall be deducted from the employee’s income each time the employee is paid. Deductions shall be mailed immediately to Child Support Payment Central (CSPC), but no later than 7 working days after the payment or deduction has occurred. Deductions shall continue until Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA) notifies you in writing to terminate or reduce the withholding.

For Financial Institutions
After you receive a Notice to Payor/Income Provider to Withhold Obligor Income/Assets, you must begin to deduct from the obligor’s account no later than 14 working days following the date the Notice to Withhold was mailed.

Deductions shall occur monthly and be mailed immediately to CSPC, but no later than 7 working days after the deduction occurred. Deductions shall occur until the agency notifies you in writing to terminate or reduce the withholding.
