Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA)

Laws enacted at the State level to provide mechanisms for establishing and enforcing child support obligations in interstate cases (when a non-custodial parent lives in a different State than his/her child and the custodial party). Based on model legislation that was drafted by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws to revise and replace URESA. The provisions of UIFSA supercede those of URESA, although some URESA provisions may remain in effect (some States have rescinded all of URESA, while others have left in place those provisions not specifically superceded by UIFSA). Among the laws provisions is the ability of State IV-D agencies to send withholding orders to employers across State lines (see also Direct Income Withholding). PRWORA mandated that all States adopt legislation requiring that UIFSA be adopted, without modification by the state, January 1, 1998.

The Child Support Enforcement Division (CSED) of the Department of Social Services, in compliance with Section 43-5-598 of the South Carolina Code of Laws and 42 USC Sec. 653a, has developed the Employer New Hire Reporting Program. Through this program all employers must report all newly hired and rehired employees. This information will be used to ensure that non-custodial parents live up to their financial responsibilities to their children. By working together, the CSED and employers can reduce the burden on our nation's taxpayers and provide a better life for our nation's children.

Decreasing the tax burden needed to fund government programs benefits all state residents. When children are receiving public assistance, state and federal laws allow the CSED to collect the child support owed to the children and use these monies to reimburse the state for the public assistance payments. Most important of all, timely child support payments to families who are not receiving public assistance can prevent dependence on welfare programs in the future.

Employers are required to report the following data elements for each newly hired or rehired employee:

1. Employer Name
2. Employer Address
3. Employer Federal Identification Number
4. Employer Phone Number (optional)
5. Employee Name
6. Employee Address
7. Employee Social Security Number
8. Employee Date of Birth (optional)
9. Employee Date of Hire (optional)

The CSED provides many methods for employers to report the information above. These methods include:

• mail or fax a copy of the new employee's W-4 Form or an equivalent form; or
• mail a computer printout of all new employees with all of the data elements detailed above; or
• submit a magnetic tape or diskette in the format prescribed by the CSED; or
• electronic means.

Penalties

New Hire information submitted by employers will be used to:

• Establish and enforce child support orders
• Detect Unemployment Benefits fraud
• Detect Workers' Compensation fraud
• Detect fraud in other government programs, such as Welfare and Food Stamps

Penalties

The penalty for failing to report newly hired or rehired employees is:

• $25 for the second offense and $25 for each offense thereafter; or

You should be more careful with your postings before you find yourself sued for defamation and libel.

No Tennessee court can order a South Carolina business to do anything, especially garnish wages.  To compell a SC business to garnish wages, even for child support, you're going to have to obtain a garnishment order from a SC court.

This is a problem whenever an obligor moves from state to state.  Even in the State of Tennessee, you would have to have a court order for an employer to garnish wages.

Your ex (not his employer) was ordered to pay child support and is not.  Without a court order (from the court to the employer) the employer cannot involuntarily garnish the wages to pay the child support.  Further, the court issuing the order must have jurisdiction.  No state civil court in Tennessee can order a business in another state to garnish wages.

You may not like this, but it is what it is.
