252D.18A MULTIPLE INCOME WITHHOLDING ORDERS --
AMOUNTS WITHHELD BY PAYOR.
When the obligor is responsible for paying more than one support
obligation and the payor of income has received more than one income
withholding order or notice of an order for the obligor, the payor
shall withhold amounts in accordance with all of the following:
1. The total of all amounts withheld shall not exceed the amounts
specified in 15 U.S.C. § 1673(b). For orders or notices issued by
the child support recovery unit, the limit for the amount to be
withheld shall be specified in the order or notice.
2. As reimbursement for the payor's processing costs, the payor
may deduct a fee of no more than two dollars for each payment
withheld in addition to the amount withheld for support.
3. Priority shall be given to the withholding of current support
rather than delinquent support. The payor shall not allocate amounts
withheld in a manner which results in the failure to withhold an
amount for one or more of the current support obligations.
a. To arrive at the amount to be withheld for each obligee,
the payor shall total the amounts due for current support under the
income withholding orders and the notices of orders and determine the
proportionate share for each obligee. The proportionate share shall
be determined by dividing the amount due for current support for each
order or notice of order by the total due for current support for all
orders and notices of orders. The results are the percentages of the
obligor's net income which shall be withheld for each obligee.
b. If, after completing the calculation in paragraph "a",
the withholding limit specified under subsection 1 has not been
attained, the payor shall total the amounts due for arrearages and
determine the proportionate share for each obligee. The
proportionate share amounts shall be established utilizing the
procedures established in paragraph "a" for current support
obligations.
4. The payor shall identify and report payments by the obligor's
name, account number, amount, and date withheld pursuant to section
252D.17. If payments for multiple obligees are combined, the portion
of the payment attributable to each obligee shall be specifically
identified only if the payor is directed to do so by the child
support recovery unit. Section History: Recent Form
