Title: Income Withholding Order/Notice for Support (IWO).
OMB No.: 0970-0154.
Description: Statutory requirements under subsections 466(a)(1),
(a)(8) and 466(b)(6) of the Social Security Act require the use of the
Income Withholding for Support (IWO) form in all child support cases.
The form must be used by child support agencies, courts, tribes,
private attorneys and other entities when ordering or sending notices
to withhold. 42 U.S.C 666(a)(1) and (8); 42 U.S.C 666(b)(6).
The Income Withholding for Support (IWO) form previously approved
by the Office of Management and Budget has been modified to address
items identified by states and employers/income withholders. The title
of the form is changed to Income Withholding Order/Notice for Support
(IWO) to correspond to the first line of the form. The blank box for
court use is removed and text shifted to make better use of available
space. Language is inserted to explain that provisions of the Consumer
Credit Protection Act (CCPA) apply only to employees and not to
independent contractors. A header with case-identifying information is
added on Page Two and a Social Security Number on Page Three to place
case-identifying information on each page and allow future automated
improvements for employers and states. Clarifications are added to the
Instructions emphasizing that each IWO should represent the information
for only one case, as defined in the Code of Federal Regulations.
Respondents: Not applicable.
