Enter, or click to select, the deduction code that is being used to provide coverage to the children specified on the Medical Support Notice. Before you can add a deduction code on this subtask, it must be assigned to the employee on the Manage Employee Deductions screen. If a health insurance deduction is entered and saved in this subtask, it cannot be deleted from the Manage Employee Deductions screen.

This field is required for each table window row that contains data. You cannot modify the deduction after saving it, but you can delete it.

This non-editable field automatically displays the description of the Deduction code.

This non-editable field automatically displays the rate assigned to the specified Deduction on the Manage Employee Deductions screen.

Enter the portion of the premium that pays for the cost of the children's medical coverage. For example, an employee has employee-only health insurance coverage at the cost of $100 per pay period. The employee receives a medical support order notice. The notice specifies that the employee must provide health care coverage for his two children. If the employer has a benefit plan that includes dependent coverage, the employee and employer must add the children onto the employee’s health coverage. This causes the employee’s insurance premium to increase from $100 to $300 per pay period. The cost of child medical coverage support is $200.

Select this check box if the state requires that no money be withheld for medical support if the employee does not have sufficient wages to cover 100% of the Cost of Child Coverage.

So, using the example given in the text for the Cost of Child Coverage field, if the employee's wages for the pay period cannot cover the $300 premium, the employer cannot withhold for the medical support order.
