CHD SU can identify child support withheld from earnings under an income-withholding order. Support withholding has its own limits and procedures and should not be checked using an ordinary consumer-debt garnishment rule.
How to read this entry
Use the meaning Child support withholding alongside the column heading. An earnings amount, an employee deduction and an employer-cost memo can have different effects even when their labels look similar.
Example on a pay statement
A statement may show current support and arrears separately. Both should match the order and applicable withholding limits.
Examples illustrate the checking method. They are not a personal tax calculation or a promise of a particular benefit.
What to check with payroll
Ask payroll to identify each support component, the order reference and the agency receiving payment.
