NC S489

Allows child support agencies to use electronic income withholding (e-IWO) procedures in compliance with federal Office of Child Support Enforcement standards as an alternative to traditional service methods when notifying employers of withholding obligations.

Modifies financial account levy procedures to reference applicable law rather than requiring a copy of the statute be served with notice, streamlining the notification process for account liens.

Expands the definition of fees that can be deducted from collected support to include administrative offsets as defined by federal regulations (31 C.F.R. § 285.1(a)), in addition to income tax refund offsets.

Requires obligors to notify obligees if subject to multiple child support withholdings and establishes procedures for resolving conflicts between multiple withholding orders in a fair and equitable manner.

Effective upon enactment.
