INCOME DEDUCTION ORDER:

To complete the order, you must include the name, address and social security number of the parties; the name and address of the employer; the amount to be withheld; and the date upon which payments are to end. If you are the person receiving the payment, you are the creditor and your spouse is the debtor.

If the income deduction order is for spousal support (maintenance) only, you may insert the address of the person who is to receive the monies or the following address where payments are to be forwarded:

Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance
P.O. Box 15365
Albany, NY 12212-5365

If the income deduction order is for child support, or child and spousal support combined, insert the name and address of the person who is to receive the monies. Make sure to check the appropriate box that indicates whether the payments are to be made by either direct payment (to the party receiving the support payment) or forwarded payment (to the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, formerly known as the Department of Social Services).

You should speak to your local child support enforcement unit to find out the services it provides in collecting and enforcing child support payments.
