What must the employer do once notice is received from the plan administrator that the children are enrolled?
The employer will determine whether the combined cost of cash support and health care coverage is within the limits of withholding. Limits are determined by state law of the state where the employee is principally employed (click link to view individual state withholding limits – http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cse/newhire/employer/contacts/contacts.htm). If the amount is within the legal limits, the employer will begin withholding the contribution from the employee’s wages. If the combined amount exceeds the limit, the employer will complete Section 4 of Part A, return Part A to the issuing child support agency and notify the plan administrator to immediately remove the children from the health care plan. The plan administrator must also notify the custodial parent immediately that health care coverage will not be provided.
