REMITTANCE INFORMATION: If the employee/obligor's principal place of employment is
(State/Tribe), you must begin withholding no later than the first pay period that occurs
days after the date
of
. Send payment within
business days of the pay date. If you cannot withhold the full amount of
support for any or all orders for this employee/obligor, withhold
% of disposable income for all orders. If the obligor is
a non-employee, obtain withholding limits from Supplemental Information. If the employee/obligor's principal place of
employment is not
(State/Tribe), obtain withholding limitations, time requirements,
and any allowable employer fees from the jurisdiction of the employee/obligor's principal place of employment. State-
specific withholding limit information is available at
www.acf.hhs.gov/css/resource/state-income-withholding-contacts
-and-program-requirements. For tribe-specific contacts, payment addresses, and withholding limitations, please contact
the tribe at
www.acf.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/programs/css/tribal_agency_contacts_printable_pdf.pdf
or
https://www.bia.gov/tribalmap/DataDotGovSamples/tld_map.html.
For electronic payment requirements and centralized payment collection and disbursement facility information [State

.
Remit payment to
(SDU/Tribal Order Payee)
at
(SDU/Tribal Payee Address)
Return to Sender (Completed by Employer/Income Withholder). Payment must be directed to an SDU in
accordance with sections 466(b)(5) and (6) of the Social Security Act or Tribal Payee (see Payments to SDU below). If
payment is not directed to an SDU/Tribal Payee or this IWO is not regular on its face, you must check this box and return
the IWO to the sender.

Print Name of Judge/Issuing Official:
Title of Judge/Issuing Official:

If the employee/obligor works in a state or for a tribe that is different from the state or tribe that issued this order, a copy of
this IWO must be provided to the employee/obligor.
If checked, the employer/income withholder must provide a copy of this form to the employee/obligor.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR EMPLOYERS/INCOME WITHHOLDERS
State-specific contact and withholding information can be found on the Federal Employer Services website located at
www.acf.hhs.gov/css/resource/state-income-withholding-contacts-and-program-requirements.
Employers/income withholders may use OCSE's Child Support Portal (https://ocsp.acf.hhs.gov/csp/) to provide
information about employees who are eligible to receive a lump sum payment, have terminated employment, and to
provide contacts, addresses, and other information about their company.
Priority: Withholding for support has priority over any other legal process under State law against the same income
(section 466(b)(7) of the Social Security Act). If a federal tax levy is in effect, please notify the sender.
Combining Payments: When remitting payments to an SDU or tribal CSE agency, you may combine withheld amounts
from more than one employee/obligor's income in a single payment. You must, however, separately identify each
employee/obligor's portion of the payment.
Payments To SDU: You must send child support payments payable by income withholding to the appropriate SDU or to a
tribal CSE agency. If this IWO instructs you to send a payment to an entity other than an SDU (e.g., payable to the
custodial party, court, or attorney), you must check the box above and return this notice to the sender. Exception: If this
IWO was sent by a court, attorney, or private individual/entity and the initial order was entered before January 1, 1994 or
the order was issued by a tribal CSE agency, you must follow the “Remit payment to” instructions on this form.

Reporting the Pay Date: You must report the pay date when sending the payment. The pay date is the date on which the
amount was withheld from the employee/obligor's wages. You must comply with the law of the state (or tribal law if
applicable) of the employee/obligor's principal place of employment regarding time periods within which you must
implement the withholding and forward the support payments.
Multiple IWOs: If there is more than one IWO against this employee/obligor and you are unable to fully honor all IWOs
due to federal, state, or tribal withholding limits, you must honor all IWOs to the greatest extent possible, giving priority to
current support before payment of any past-due support. Follow the state or tribal law/procedure of the employee/obligor's
principal place of employment to determine the appropriate allocation method.
Lump Sum Payments: You may be required to notify a state or tribal CSE agency of upcoming lump sum payments to
this employee/obligor such as bonuses, commissions, or severance pay. Contact the sender to determine if you are
required to report and/or withhold lump sum payments.
Liability: If you have any doubts about the validity of this IWO, contact the sender. If you fail to withhold income from the
employee/obligor's income as the IWO directs, you are liable for both the accumulated amount you should have withheld
and any penalties set by state or tribal law/procedure.
Anti-discrimination: You are subject to a fine determined under state or tribal law for discharging an employee/obligor
from employment, refusing to employ, or taking disciplinary action against an employee/obligor because of this IWO.
Withholding Limits: You may not withhold more than the lesser of: 1) the amounts allowed by the Federal Consumer
Credit Protection Act (CCPA) [15 USC §1673 (b)]; or 2) the amounts allowed by the law of the state of the employee/
obligor's principal place of employment, if the place of employment is in a state; or the tribal law of the employee/obligor's
principal place of employment if the place of employment is under tribal jurisdiction. Disposable income is the net
income after mandatory deductions such as: state, federal, local taxes; Social Security taxes; statutory pension
contributions; and Medicare taxes. The federal limit is 50% of the disposable income if the obligor is supporting another
family and 60% of the disposable income if the obligor is not supporting another family. However, those limits increase
5% --to 55% and 65% --if the arrears are greater than 12 weeks. If permitted by the state or tribe, you may deduct a fee
for administrative costs. The combined support amount and fee may not exceed the limit indicated in this section.
Depending upon applicable state or tribal law, you may need to consider amounts paid for health care premiums in
determining disposable income and applying appropriate withholding limits.
Arrears Greater Than 12 Weeks? If the Order Information section does not indicate that the arrears are greater than
12 weeks, then the employer should calculate the CCPA limit using the lower percentage.
