Income Withholding Information
Important information that employers need to know about withholding income from their employees for child support payments:
Child support payments must be made payable to NC Child Support.
Payments must be mailed to:
NC Child Support Centralized Collections
P.O. Box 900012
Raleigh, N.C. 27675-9012
Checks that are unacceptable for deposit (such as an unacceptable payee name on the payment document) are returned to the sender.
Support payments must include the obligor's docket number and MPI number. If employers withhold income for multiple employees, they must specify the amount being withheld for each employee on the payment remittance form.
The telephone number of an employer contact person must accompany payments.
Employers have seven (7) days from the date of withholding to submit child support payments for their employees, per G.S. 110-136.8(b). If employers fail to submit payments in a timely manner, they can be subject to enforcement action for noncompliance.
Employers who submit checks that are returned for insufficient funds will lose their check writing privileges and face enforcement action, per N.C. statutes
Employers are obligated to withhold income in accordance with the laws of the state where the noncustodial parent (NCP) is employed.
