OCSS Releases Revised IWO and Instructions

The Office of Child Support Services (OCSS) released a revised version of the income withholding order for support form (IWO) and its instructions with no substantial changes [OCSS, AT-23-13, 10-5-23]. The revised IWO expires August 31, 2026.

The revised IWO contains only minor changes and was updated to reflect the agency’s name change from Office of Child Support Enforcement to OCSS, which was announced in June. OCSS also issued a sample form to provide guidance on properly completing the IWO.

To give child support agencies time to implement the revised form, OCSS extended the expiration date of the previous IWO until September 30, 2024 (OCSS, AT-23-12, 9-27-23).
