Employer Information

Employers play a crucial role in the success of the child support program. With your cooperation, more children in Delaware and other states receive the financial support they need to lead healthy and happy lives. As a Delaware employer, you:

• Are required to report all newly hired or rehired employees to Delaware's New Hire Reporting Program administered by the Division of Child Support Enforcement;
• May receive an Income Withholding Order (IWO) to withhold wages and forward child support payments from an employee's earnings, and;
• May be ordered to provide medical support by enrolling an employee's child(ren) in a health benefit plan and to withhold the appropriate premium amount from the employee's wages.
• The state of Delaware uses the National Medical Support Notice (NMSN). The NMSN is a standardized federal form that all state IV-D support agencies must use.
• May opt to participate in our Electronic Funds Transfer program.

The Division of Child Support Enforcement (DCSE) thanks you for your efforts and cooperation in complying with these laws.
