SUMMARY:                  Child Support Enforcement Information Requests

In an effort to facilitate the Child Support Enforcement process, a policy decision has been made to forward the Child Support Enforcement information requests directly to the employing agency.

When your agency receives such a request from the Division of Accounts and Reports, please complete the attached form and return to the appropriate Child Support Enforcement Office within the specified time period.  For requests originating in Kansas, state law requires an employer to respond to the request for information within ten days.  Requests originating from other states may have different due dates for response.

If you need to determine whether an Income Withholding Order is currently in effect for the employee, you can review the employee’s most current paycheck in SHARP (Payroll for North America > Payroll Processing USA > Produce Payroll > Review Paycheck).  If the Garnishments data under the Paycheck Deductions tab contains information for a garnishment ID beginning with ‘IWO’, an Income Withholding Order is in effect.  If you do not know the answers to any specific questions (for example, Insurance Group # or Policy #), leave the information blank.

This change should not alter the current Income Withholding Order process.  The actual Income Withholding Orders should be forwarded immediately to the Director of Accounts and Reports and will continue to be processed centrally by the Division of Accounts and Reports, Payroll Services.
