Income Withholding for Support (IWO)

OMB 0970-0154 · HHS/ACF.

OMB 0970-0154

OMB approved the IWO for an additional three years on August 23, 2023. During the OMB review period, OCSS found references to “child support enforcement (CSE) agencies” that were not updated to “child support agency (CSA)” as intended. As a result, the IWO program team submitted the forms for additional quality review, which resulted in additional minor edits to the form and instructions. States are required to use the IWO form to issue income withholding orders. OCSS provided states the option to use the previously approved IWO form for an additional 12 months so that child support agencies remain compliant with federal law while making any system changes to accommodate the proposed edits to the IWO form. This request is to remove those outdated materials, which were clearly specified as only being used for one year.

The latest form for Income Withholding for Support (IWO) expires 2026-08-31 and is listed under ICR 202602-0970-006.
