Introduction

Employers play a vital role in ensuring the financial and medical security of children by cooperating with the Mariposa County Department of Child Support Services. Thank you for your continued efforts!

Employers have 4 principal responsibilities:

• You must report all newly hired employees to your state Directory of New Hires.

• When you receive a valid Order/Notice to withhold income for child support for an employee, you must follow the terms and deduct the specified amount from each paycheck and remit to our office within 7 business days of the withholding.

• Comply with the National Medical Support Notice and sign the children up for health insurance, if it is available.

• You must provide the local child support agency with information about an employee, such as details regarding his/her earnings, current residence, health insurance, coverage, and report the termination of an employee whether the employee is fired, resigns, or is laid off.
