Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
Individual states promulgate laws to comply with the federal law — The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. This act is codified at 42 USC 653-653A. Employers need to comply only with state laws.
Under Alaska Statute 25.27.075, all employers are required to report every new hire and rehire to the Child Support Enforcement Division (CSED) of the Department of Revenue within 20 days of hire. The only exceptions to this requirement are employers who have employees in more than one state and report to another state. Employers who file new hire reports electronically must file a report every 12 to 16 days. Employers may submit the data by email or CD.
All Alaska child support orders must include a wage-withholding order. It's also called income withholding, garnishment, or wage assignment.
