20-6-212. Duties of the payor; administrative fee.

(a) Upon receipt of certified copies of the notice to payor and the income withholding order, the payor shall deduct and pay over income as specified in the notice.

(b) The payor shall begin the withholding no later than the first pay period that occurs following service on the payor of the notice and income withholding order. The payor shall deduct the maximum amount required by the notice, unless otherwise ordered by the court, for each pay period. The payor is not required to vary his normal pay and disbursement cycles in order to comply with this subsection. The payor shall remit the amount withheld to the state disbursement unit within seven (7) days after the date the obligor is paid, and the remittance shall include the name and social security number of the obligor and the date the income was withheld.

(c) In addition to the amount withheld from the obligor's income, the payor may, subject to limitations under W.S. 20-6-210(b)(iii) and 27-3-319(c), deduct and retain from the obligor's remaining income five dollars ($5.00) for each payment made pursuant to the income withholding order.

(d) If the payor has received more than one (1) notice to payor, all withheld amounts may be combined into a single payment in which case the payor shall separately identify the amount which is to be credited to each obligor. Upon request, the clerk of court or the department may provide assistance to a payor in determining the amount to be credited to each obligor.

(e) Within thirty (30) days after the obligor's employment terminates or the obligor ceases to receive income from the payor the payor shall give written notice thereof to the clerk. The notice shall include the following information:

(i) When the obligor ceased to receive income from the payor or when the obligor left his employment;

(ii) The last known address of the obligor;

(iii) The name and address of the obligor's new payor if known.

(f) For a period of one (1) year from the date the obligor's employment terminates with the payor, the payor shall, upon request, disclose to the clerk or the department the following information:

(i) Any new address for the obligor of which the payor may become aware; and

(ii) The name and address of the obligor's new payor, if known to the payor.

(g) In the case of worker's compensation or unemployment compensation benefits, nothing in W.S. 20-6-202(a)(i) or (xv) shall require a payor to withhold an amount for any type of support or arrearage not authorized to be withheld from those benefits by federal law or regulation.

(h) If insurance coverage of the obligor's children is provided by or through the payor, the payor shall notify the clerk within thirty (30) days of any lapse or material change in that coverage.

(j) The payor shall not be liable to the obligor for any payment or disclosure made as authorized by this act.
