An Illinois Order/Notice to Withhold Income for Child Support is a court order that requires an employer to withhold money from an employee's paycheck to be paid directly to the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) or a Child Support Clerk of the Circuit Court. This money is then used to pay child support payments to the custodial parent or guardian. There are two types of Order/Notice to Withhold Income for Child Support in Illinois: 1. Income Withholding Order (TWO): An TWO is issued by HFS when an employer has been notified by the court to withhold income from an employee to pay for their current child support payments. 2. Notice of Withholding for Support (NEWS): NEWS is issued by the Clerk of the Circuit Court when an employer has been notified by the court to withhold income from an employee to pay for back-owed child support payments.
