In fiscal year 2010, with the help of Illinois employers, the Department of Healthcare and Family Services Division of Child Support Services, collected $1.3 billion for its customers. The Child Support Services Program benefits children and families by locating non-custodial parents, establishing paternity and establishing and enforcing child support orders.
Employers are key to the success of both new hire reporting and income withholding. Employer cooperation assists the State in the early location of non-custodial parents, the speedy collection of child support and the prompt enrollment of children in health care programs.
New hire reporting is the most successful means for locating parents, establishing orders and collecting child support. Through new hire reporting, employers provide timely information regarding the employment of non-custodial parents, which results in faster collection of child support and enrollment of children in dependent medical insurance coverage. Income withholding is the single most effective and consistent collection method.
It is an employer's legal responsibility to comply with all income withholding orders and national medical support notices when they are served. An employer is considered served if any company address is used. Be sure all of your staff know where to forward these documents within your company to avoid any non-compliance penalties.
Employers who comply with child support laws help their communities by:
