Electronic Income Withholding Orders (e-IWO)
Employers collect nearly 70 percent of all child support through income withholding orders. OCSE worked with states and the employer community to transform the paper income withholding order process into an automated, paperless process known as e-IWO—electronic income withholding orders.
Benefits of using e-IWO to process income withholding orders:
- Reduced costs – no manual processing and mailing paper documents
- Fewer errors than can occur with a manual process
- Less time from preparation to employer implementation
- Improved communication between child support agencies and employers
- More child support collections for children and families
