Title: Income Withholding for
Support Order (IWO).
OMB No.: 0970–0154.
Description: All individuals and
entities must use a standard form the
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Secretary of HHS developed to notify
employers to withhold child support for
all IV–D and non-IV–D orders. This
clearance is for one-time changes to the
IWO form by state child support
agencies and entities that do not have
child support automated systems.
The Office of Child Support
Enforcement (OCSE) requires child
support automated systems to be able to
automatically generate and download
data to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approved IWO form. The
collection of information required by
state child support agencies and courts
to populate IWOs in automated systems
is contained in OMB #0970–0417 and is
not addressed in this clearance. If the
state child support agency established
the child support orders, necessary
information is already contained in the
automated system for populating
income withholding orders. If a court or
other tribunal issued a child support
order, then IV–D agency staff enter the
terms of the order into the automated
system to issue IWOs. Copies of the
IWO are made for all necessary parties
and state child support agencies
transmit IWOs to the employer/income
withholder by mail or through the OCSE
electronic income withholding order (eIWO) portal. Employers are required to
inform state child support agencies
when employees with child support
IWOs terminate their employment;
notification occurs by sending the IWO
form or by the e-IWO process. Employer
responses to IWOs are covered by this
clearance.
Custodial parties (CPs) may send the
IWO form to an employer directly or
may engage an attorney or private
collection agency to do so on their
behalf. This clearance addresses
custodial parties as they do not have
access to automated systems for non-IV–
D orders.
The IWO form and instructions were
updated for consistency and clarity in
light of numerous comments suggesting
changes received during the 60-day
comment period of the 1st Federal
Register Notice publication.
The information collection is
authorized by 42 U.S.C. 666(a)(8)(B)(iii)
and (b)(6)(A)(ii) which requires the use
of a standard format for income
withholding.
Respondents: Employers, non-IV–D
custodial parties, and e-IWO employers.
