How the Application Works

• The state CSE system generates wage-withholding orders based on a record layout provided by DFAS.
• The file containing the wage-withholding orders is picked up from a data set on your CSE system, routed through the OCSE server in Manassas, VA and forwarded to a central DFAS server in Montgomery, AL.
• The DFAS server processes your wage-withholding orders, stores them on the KIDS 1^st Program server and then forwards the orders to Department of Defense's (DOD) Integrated Garnishment System (IGS).
• An Acknowledgment file and Error log are returned to the States.
• Garnishments are issued to the military and civilian DOD personnel working in the United States and overseas.
