Usually when orders for child support are received we have reference to a court order in the transmittal letter.  However, recently we received a request for employee information from a county child support agency asking for rate of pay, earnings, etc.  Not a withholding order but an Employer Information Request.  Are we allowed to give out this information without a court order cited?

I would contact the county or the state office that deals with CS.  I am lucky to work in TX where the Office of the Attorney General is the gatekeeper for CS and they have a whole website handbook on CS alone.  We often receive requests for information on wages and benefits so the courts can do a better job on the CS calculation. So it is normal for me to see these.

However it is going to be a bit state dependent.  If I did provide it, I always let the affected employee know that it is being provided. And I inform them when I get a CS Order too.
