OMB Expiration Date 05/31/2014. The OMB Expiration Date has no bearing on the termination date of the IWO; it identifies the version
of the form currently in use. 2
For electronic payment requirements and centralized payment collection and disbursement facility information (State
Disbursement Unit [SDU]), see
http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cse/newhire/employer/contacts/contact_map.htm.
Include the Remittance Identifier with the payment and if necessary this FIPS code:
Remit payment to (SDU/Tribal Order Payee)
at (SDU/Tribal Payee Address)
Return to Sender [Completed by Employer/Income Withholder]. Payment must be directed to an SDU in accordance
with 42 USC §666(b)(5) and (b)(6) or Tribal payee (see Payments to SDU below). If payment is not directed to an
SDU/Tribal Payee or this IWO is not regular on its face, you must check this box and return the IWO to the sender.
If the employee/obligor works in a State or for a Tribe that is different from the State or Tribe that must issued this order, a
copy of this IWO must be provided to the employee/obligor.
If checked, the employer/income withholder must provide a copy of this form to the employer/obligor.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR EMPLOYERS/INCOME WITHHOLDERS
State-specific contact and withholding information can be found on the Federal Employer Services website located at:
http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cse/newhire/employer/contacts/contact_map.htm
Priority: Withholding for support has priority over any other legal process under State law against the same income
(USC 42 §666(b)(7)). If a Federal tax levy is in effect, please notify the sender.
Combining Payments: When remitting payments to an SDU or Tribal CSE agency, you may combine withheld amounts
from more than one employee/obligor’s income in a single payment. You must, however, separately identify each
employee/obligor’s portion of the payment.
Payments to SDU: You must send child support payments payable by income withholding to the appropriate SDU or to a
Tribal CSE agency. If this IWO instructs you to send a payment to an entity other than an SDU (e.g., payable to the
custodial party, court, or attorney), you must check the box above and return this notice to the sender. Exception: If this
IWO was sent by a Court, Attorney, or Private Individual/Entity and the initial order was entered before January 1, 1994 or
the order was issued by a Tribal CSE agency, you must follow the “Remit payment to” instructions on this form.
Reporting the Pay Date: You must report the pay date when sending the payment. The pay date is the date on which the
amount was withheld from the employee/obligor’s wages. You must comply with the law of the State (or Tribal law if
applicable) of the employee/obligor’s principal place of employment regarding time periods within which you must implement
the withholding and forward the support payments.
Multiple IWOs: If there is more than one IWO against this employee/obligor and you are unable to fully honor all IWOs
due to Federal, State, or Tribal withholding limits, you must honor all IWOs to the greatest extent possible, giving priority
to current support before payment of any past-due support. Follow the State or Tribal law/procedure of the
employee/obligor’s principal place of employment to determine the appropriate allocation method.
Lump Sum Payments: You may be required to notify a State or Tribal CSE agency of upcoming lump sum payments to
this employee/obligor such as bonuses, commissions, or severance pay. Contact the sender to determine if you are
required to report and/or withhold lump sum payments.
Liability: If you have any doubts about the validity of this IWO, contact the sender. If you fail to withhold income from the
employee/obligor’s income as the IWO directs, you are liable for both the accumulated amount you should have withheld
and any penalties set by State or Tribal law/procedure.
Anti-discrimination: You are subject to a fine determined under State or Tribal law for discharging an employee/obligor
from employment, refusing to employ, or taking disciplinary action against an employee/obligor because of this IWO.

IMPORTANT: The person completing this form is advised that the information may be shared with the employee/obligor. 3
Withholding Limits: You may not withhold more than the lesser of: 1) the amounts allowed by the Federal Consumer
Credit Protection Act (CCPA) (15 U.S.C. 1673(b)); or 2) the amounts allowed by the State or Tribe of the employee/obligor’s
principal place of employment (see REMITTANCE INFORMATION). Disposable income is the net income left after making
mandatory deductions such as: State, Federal, local taxes; Social Security taxes; statutory pension contributions; and
Medicare taxes. The Federal limit is 50% of the disposable income if the obligor is supporting another family and 60% of the
disposable income if the obligor is not supporting another family. However, those limits increase 5% - to 55% and 65% - if
the arrears are greater than 12 weeks. If permitted by the State or Tribe, you may deduct a fee for administrative costs. The
combined support amount and the fee may not exceed the limit indicated in this section.
For Tribal orders, you may not withhold more than the amounts allowed under the law of the issuing Tribe. For Tribal
employers/income withholder who receive a State IWO, you may not withhold more than the lesser of the limit set by the law
of the jurisdiction in which the employer/income withholder is located or the maximum amount permitted under section
303(d) of the CCPA (15 U.S.C. 1673 (b)).
Depending upon applicable State law or Tribal law, you may need to also consider the amounts paid for health care
premiums in determining disposable income and applying appropriate withholding limits.
Arrears greater than 12 weeks? If the Order Information does not indicate that the arrears are greater than 12 weeks, then
the Employer should calculate the CCPA limit using the lower percentage.
