(1) When a support order contains an income withholding provision and the case meets criteria for income withholding, the state IV-D agency may directly order the obligor's employer to implement income withholding by issuing an administrative Order/Notice to Withhold Income For Child Support. This action may be taken on both interstate and intrastate cases.

(2) The employer must respond by:

(a) Sending the withholding to the appropriate collection agent designated on the document;

(b) Notifying the appropriate collection agent if the obligor changes employment, or if benefits that constitute income for the obligor are terminated;

(c) Providing a copy of the Order/Notice to Withhold Income for Child Support;

(d) Complying with the law of the state of the obligor's principal place of employment for withholding from income with respect to:
1. The employer's fee for processing an income withholding order;

2. The maximum amount permitted to be withheld from the obligor's income; and

3. The time within which the employer must implement the withholding order and forward the child support payment.
