Does the employer have to tell the employee that an Order/Notice – Income Withholding for Support has been received? What about the National Medical Support Notice?
For an Illinois order, the department not only sends the employee a copy of the Order/Notice – Income Withholding for Support, but also includes a Non-Custodial Parent notice, which explains the withholding process and the employee’s rights. If the employer receives the Order/Notice – Income Withholding for Support from another state, the employer must provide a copy to the employee. For all Illinois orders and all orders registered in Illinois, the department sends the employee a cover letter regarding service of the National Medical Support Notice on their employer and a copy of the National Medical Support Notice. Because the NMSN the employer receives may contain the custodial parent’s and child(ren)’s names and address(es), the employer should never share this document with the employee.
