Frequently Asked Questions - Wage Assignment
  • Wage Assignment

 
How long will it be before I get payments sent to me once the wage assignment goes out?
The employer must deduct within 10 days of the receipt of the wage assignment and send the money to the State Disbursement office within 10 days of the deduction date. The State Disbursement Unit offers direct deposit services. They can be contacted at 1(866)325-1010.
The wage assignment is paying weekly, but last week I did not receive a check. I want to speak to my Child Support Officer and have him/her contact the employer.
This office works on a 30-day delinquency list. Wait until the 1st of the following month to ensure that you did not receive your full support. If you have not, contact our office and your Child Support Officer can assist you. This office cannot enforce support on a week to week basis.
I am no longer employed and previously had my wages garnished. What do I need to do?
Submit your status in writing to your Child Support Officer. Keep this office informed within 10 days of any change of circumstance in employment. Continue to make payments as ordered.
I received notice that the absent parent is no longer employed. What am I supposed to do?
That letter is just to inform you of the status of your case. The system will monitor the case for additional employment and legal action. You will be sent a notice if the absent parent becomes employed. Keep this office informed if the absent parent tells you that he/she has gained employment.
Why did I not receive the full amount of child support this month when he is paying by wage assignment?
Some employers deduct on a 26 or 52 week pay schedule. Two months of the year, you will receive the extra check that comes when there are five weeks in a month. The employer may be deducting 50% of the employee’s net disposable income.
