What is the Employer Website?
|
|
The Employer Website is a secure website developed by Idaho Child Support Services to assist employers across the state in reviewing Income Withholding Orders (IWO) and responding to National Medical Support Notices (NMSN).
In addition, employers are able to update and maintain employee details such as employment status, and rate of pay, etc.
This information assists Idaho Child Support Services to ensure that the needs of Idaho’s children are met while reducing the costs associated with paper based communications.
IMPORTANT: The Employer Website is not a substitute for Idaho Department of Labor new hire reporting requirements. You must continue to follow the reporting requirements according to State Law.

Reasonable Cost Calculator
|
|
The Reasonable Cost Calculator is used to determine whether enrollment of a child in an employer-sponsored insurance plan is affordable under the reasonable cost definition. Reasonable cost is defined in Idaho Code as a cost to the obligated parent that does not exceed five percent (5%) of his or her gross income (Section 32-1214B).
The Reasonable Cost Calculator is also available as a stand-alone Microsoft Excel® document on the Child Support homepage under "Forms". Save a copy of the calculator onto your personal hard drive to access each time you need to use it. The form is designed to be printed after each use and then "cleared out" to be used again. If you need to save your work, choose "save as" and save the file under another name on your personal hard drive so that you can clear out and re-use the original calculator.
If you utilize the Microsoft Excel version of the calculator and you find that your employee's earnings do not meet the criteria to require the child's enrollment, please print a copy for your records and complete the NMSN response.

My Dashboard
|

My Dashboard displays all new orders that require your action. These new orders are time sensitive and require immediate action. Therefore, My Dashboard will only show new orders or ones that have not yet been acted upon. In the case of an IWO, click on the child(ren)'s name to open the document; save or print; determine reasonable cost; and begin withholding. In the case of a NMSN, click on the child(ren)'s name(s) to review and respond to the order. By responding through the Employer Website less time and money will be spent by your company and the State of Idaho in processing these orders.

My Dashboard only shows employees with new orders and/or those that require action from you. Since you responded to the NMSN you will now be able to find your employee in "View & Manage My Employees".
A NMSN is generated on Child Support cases when a parent is court ordered to provide medical insurance for the child(ren). If that same parent and child are on more than one Child Support case, you will receive more than one NMSN for the same child and employee.
For those employers who receive more than one NMSN for the same child and employee, you only need to respond to the NMSN one time. For that reason we prevent more than one NMSN from displaying on "My Dashboard".
