1 Tex. Admin. Code § 55.705 - Employer Responsibilities
(a) If the
child cannot be enrolled in the employer health insurance plan because the
employer does not maintain a plan, the employee is not eligible, or the
employee is no longer employed by the employer, the employer must complete the
Employer Response Form and provide the employer representative information to
the Title IV-D Agency within 20 business days of receipt of the
Notice.
(b) Employers must transfer
the Notice to the appropriate group health plan administrator within 20
business days after the date of the Notice.
(c) Employers must withhold any obligation of
the employee for employee contributions necessary for coverage of the
child(ren) and send any amount withheld directly to the plan.
(d) Employees may contest the withholding
based on a mistake of fact. If the employee contests such withholding, the
employer must initiate withholding until such time as the employer receives
notice that the contest is resolved.
(e) The employer must notify the Title IV-D
Agency should the federal withholding limitation prevent the withholding from
the employee's income of the amount reported to obtain coverage under the terms
of the plan.
(f) If an employer
would like to receive the Notice through electronic transmission the employer
must notify the Title IV-D Agency.
(g) If the child is enrolled in the
employer's health plan, or is already enrolled in another health insurance plan
in accordance with a previous child support or medical support order to which
the child is subject, the employer must provide this information by first class
mail to the IV-D agency. The statement must be sent no later than 30 days after
the date the employer receives the National Medical Support Notice.
