Wash. Admin. Code § 192-190-015 - Deductions for child support - RCW 50.40.050
(1) After being properly notified by a child
support agency, the department will withhold a portion of your benefits to send
to the agency to satisfy child support obligations.
(2)
Notification. The child
support agency is responsible for notifying you of the order to deduct child
support from your unemployment benefits.
(3)
Overpayments. Benefits
deducted to satisfy child support obligations are considered paid to you. If
you receive benefits to which you are not entitled, the amount deducted to
satisfy child support obligations will be included in the
overpayment.
(4)
Benefits
withheld in error. The child support agency is responsible for
reimbursing you if the amount deducted from your benefits is greater than you
are required to pay to satisfy your child support obligations. If an amount
less than you are required to pay is deducted from your benefits, the
department will deduct the additional amount from future benefit
weeks.
(5)
Appeals.
(a) You must file your appeal concerning the
validity of the child support order, the total amount due, or the amount to be
deducted from your benefits, with the child support agency.
(b) You may file your appeal concerning the
department's authority to deduct child support from your benefits, the weeks
for which the deduction is made, and the accuracy of the amount deducted with
the department in the same manner as eligibility decisions are appealed. You
may file your appeal based on the department's notice to you that child support
obligations have been or will be deducted from your benefits. All laws and
rules pertaining to benefit appeals apply to appeals under this
subsection.
(6)
Effective date of deduction. The department will not deduct child
support obligations from benefits paid for weeks prior to the date on which
notification is served on you by the child support agency.
