Setting Up A Medical Support Order Garnishment

You must configure data on multiple Costpoint screens to set up a medical support order garnishment.

To set up a medical support order garnishment:

  1. Determine the employee's work state.
  2. On the Manage Deductions screen, set up the health insurance deduction. The Deduction Type must be one of the following:
    • CAF (Cafeteria Plan)
    • DNTL (Dental Plan Benefit)
    • HCB (Health Care Benefit)
    • VISN (Vision Plan Benefit)
    • BENPKG (Benefit Package)

    The Medical Support Order specifies the types and amounts of health coverage the employee must provide to the children.

  3. On the Manage Employee Deductions screen, assign the health insurance coverage deductions to the employee.
  4. On the Manage State Support Order Rules screen, set up the order calculation rules for the employee's work state. The values set up in this screen default on the Support Calculation subtask of the Manage Employee Garnishments screen, where you can modify them. If the work state specifies a low-income threshold, enter the weekly threshold amount on this screen and enter the Low Income Percentage that is used instead of the standard calculation for the work state.

    For example, Connecticut stated in 2010 that if the employee's weekly disposable earnings were $145 or less, the support order limit was limited to 15% of disposable income, rather than the Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA) percentages (50%, 55%, 60%, and 65%). So, for Connecticut, you would enter 145.00 in the Disposable Income Threshold field and 15 in the Low Income Percentage field.

  5. On the Manage Employee Garnishments screen, enter the required data if you are creating a new record. Enter a Deduction code that is linked to a Deduction Type of Child Support Garnishment or Child Medical Support on the Manage Deductions screen. Deltek recommends  that a Medical Support Order garnishment be linked to a Deduction with a Deduction Type of Child Medical Support.
  6. On the Support Calculation subtask of the Manage Employee Garnishments screen, enter the Percent of Disposable Income that is used to determine the support limit amount.
  7. On the Health Insurance Coverage subtask of the Support Calculation screen, select the health insurance deduction codes which track the health insurance coverage mandated by the support order. Enter the Cost of Child Coverage for each of the specified deduction codes. This is the amount that it costs for the employee to cover the children specified in the Medical Support Order.
  8. If the state mandates that the entire amount must be deducted for the medical support, select the Must Deduct Entire Amount check box.
  9. Close the Health Insurance Coverage subtask and save the record.
