Employee/Obligor with Multiple Support Withholdings:

• You shall distribute the withheld earnings, on a pro rata basis satisfying all current support obligations first.
• You must honor all Orders or Notices in accordance with the federal percentage limitations imposed under 15 U.S.C. 1673(b) as indicated under Remittance Section on page 1 (see also #9 on page 3).
• The calculation used to determine the amount applied to each account, for Orders where Indiana is the employee’s place of employment is as follows:

Step A:	Determine from all the orders the total amount to be withheld for current support.
Step B:	Divide each current support amount by the total amount of all current orders to determine each order's percentage share of the total.
Step C:	For each current order, multiply the current amount available for proration (disposable income x the federal percentage limitation indicated in Remittance Information on page 1). The product is the amount of current support to be forwarded for withholding.
Step D:	To determine the pro rata basis for arrearage amounts , repeat Steps A-C, replacing the current amounts and calculated percentages with the appropriate arrearage amounts and calculated percentages.

Withholding limits:

For state orders, you may not withhold more than the lesser of: 1) the amounts allowed by the Federal Consumer Credit Protection Act (15 U.S.C. 1673(b)); or 2) the amounts allowed by the state of the employee’s/obligor’s principal place of employment. The federal limit applies to the aggregate disposable weekly earnings (ADWE). ADWE is the net income left after making mandatory deductions such as: state, federal, local taxes, Social Security taxes, statutory pension contributions, and Medicare taxes. The Federal CCPA limit is 50% of the ADWE for child support and alimony, which is increased by 1) 10% if the employee does not support a second family; and/or 2) 5% if arrears greater than 12 weeks. For tribal orders, you may not withhold more than the amounts allowed under the law of the issuing tribe. For tribal employers who receive a state order, you may not withhold more than the amounts allowed under the law of the state that issued the order.

Additional Information: You may retain a two dollar ($2.00) fee from the income payee’s income each time income withheld is forwarded. The sum total of the amount to be withheld plus this fee shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted under the Consumer Credit Protection Act.
