Agenda

Support Withholding represents 60% to 70% of the wage garnishments that employers administer and it is not usual for employees to be subject to support for more than one family, issued by different states. Child support includes cash deductions as well as the additional cost of insurance premiums when a Medical Support Order is served.

Join noted author and speaker Amy Bryant, CPP, as she identifies the key requirements of previous legislation and the impact on how support must be handled today by the garnishment department.
