Withholding of income by income payor; payment to state central
collection unit
Sec. 15. (a) An income payor that is required to withhold income
under this chapter shall:
(1) forward income withheld for the payment of current and
past due child support to the state central collection unit or
other person named in the notice at the same time that the
obligor is paid;
(2) include a statement identifying:
(A) each cause number;
(B) the Indiana support enforcement tracking system
(ISETS) case number;
(C) the name of each obligor and the obligor's Social
Security number; and
(D) the name of each payee with the withheld income
forwarded by the income payor; and
(3) implement withholding not later than the first pay date after
fourteen (14) days following the date the notice was received.
(b) The income payor may retain, in addition to the amount
required to be forwarded to the state central collection unit under
subsection (a), a fee of two dollars ($2) from the obligor's income
each time the income payor forwards income to the state central
collection unit or other person specified in the notice to an income
payor under this chapter. If the income payor elects to withhold the
fee, the amount to be withheld for the payment of current and past
due child support must be reduced accordingly if necessary to avoid
exceeding the maximum amount permitted to be withheld under 15
U.S.C. 1673(b).
