Child Support Allocation Worksheet

CHILD SUPPORT ALLOCATION WORKSHEET The Federal Consumer Credit Protection Act requires employers to allocate current child support payments when an employee is supporting more than one family through wage withholding. THIS STATUTE ONLY APPLIES WHEN THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF ALL CURRENT CHILD SUPPORT ORDERS EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE WITHHOLDING OF 50% OF THE EMPLOYEE'S DISPOSABLE INCOME. The Department of Economic Security developed this worksheet to enable you to easily calculate the allocation. If you need any assistance in completing the worksheet, please contact us through our Employer Hotline STEP 1: LIST THE CURRENT CHILD SUPPORT AMOUNTS FOR EACH ORDER A) $_____________ B) $_____________ C) $_____________ STEP 2: TOTAL THE CURRENT CHILD SUPPORT AMOUNTS FOR EACH ORDER A) $____________ + B) $____________ + C) $____________ = D) $______________ STEP 3: COMPUTE THE ALLOCATION RATIOS BY DIVIDING EACH CURRENT CHILD SUPPORT AMOUNT ORDERED BY THE TOTAL CURRENT CHILD SUPPORT AMOUNT A) $_____________ / D) $______________ = E) ____________ (ALLOCATION RATIO) B) $_____________ / D) $______________ = F) ____________ (ALLOCATION RATIO) C) $_____________ / D) $______________ = G) ____________ (ALLOCATION RATIO) STEP 4: DETERMINE THE AMOUNT TO ALLOCATE TO EACH CURRENT CHILD SUPPORT WAGE WITHHOLDING ORDER BY MULTIPLYING THE MAXIMUM WITHHOLDING AMOUNT OF 50% OF THE EMPLOYEE'S DISPOSABLE INCOME BY THE ALLOCATION RATIO FOR EACH ORDER.
