(1) Employment related or other group coverage that does not exceed 5% of the parent's monthly gross income is generally considered reasonable in cost.

(2) An employer may not withhold more than the lesser of the amount allowed under the Consumer Credit Protection Act, the amount allowed by the state of the employee's principal place of employment, or the amount allowed for health insurance premiums by the child support order.

(3) If the combined child support and medical support obligations exceed the allowable deduction amount, the employer shall withhold according to the law, if any, of the state of the employee's principal place of employment requiring prioritization between child support and medical support.

(4) If the employee's principal place of employment is in Utah, the employer shall deduct current child support before deducting amounts for health insurance coverage.

(5) If the amount necessary to cover the health insurance premiums cannot be deducted due to prioritization or limitations on withholding, the employer shall notify ORS.
