Employers
Employers are essential to the child support program. Employers deduct child support and medical support obligations from employee’s pay, accounting for nearly 70 percent of child support collections.
Employers also…
- Save taxpayer dollars. Child support collections reduce public assistance spending.
- Prevent and reduce fraud. Federal and state agencies use new hire employment information to reduce overpayments in public assistance, unemployment and disability insurance, and workers’ compensation benefits.
Employers have four primary responsibilities:
- Report newly hired and terminated employees
- Withhold child support payments as ordered
- Enroll children in health care coverage
- Remit child support to the State Disbursement Unit
