When must health care coverage withholding start?
The Notice for Health Care Coverage requires withholding for the cost of health care as soon as Part B is returned and the employer determines the employee’s income is sufficient. The limit is set at 50% of disposable income for any and all cash support orders and/or health care coverage premiums combined for employees working in Oregon.
• The Notice to Withhold for Health Care Coverage (Part A) requires withholding for the cost of health care as soon health insurance enrollment information is available to the employer. The withholding deductions for both child support and health insurance premiums may not exceed 50-65 percent of the employee’s net disposable income. The plan administrator must return Part B to the issuing local child support agency within 40 business days of the date of the NMSN. Enrollment must move forward irrespective of any open enrollment restrictions.
