23-3126. Income withholding; unemployment insurance benefits.
(1)The secretary of the department for children and families may collect, pursuant to the income withholding act, K.S.A. 23-3101 et seq., and amendments thereto, support owed in a title IV-D case from unemployment insurance benefits payable to the obligor. Such collections may be remitted directly to the secretary. The secretary, and any other agency affected, shall use electronic processes to the greatest extent feasible.
(2)All provisions of the income withholding act shall apply to the withholding of support from unemployment insurance benefits from the state employment security agency, which shall be considered a payor for the purposes of the income withholding act, except that any cost recovery fee as a result of such withholding shall be paid by the department for children and families and shall not be paid by the obligor.
(b)If the secretary of the department for children and families receives an income withholding collection directly from another state agency for a debtor with more than one income withholding order and the payor agency does not identify the amount to be applied to each withholding order, the secretary may apply the collection in any manner allowed under title IV-D, provided that all current support due for the month under the withholding orders is satisfied first.
(c)This section shall be part of and supplemental to the income withholding act, K.S.A. 23-3101 et seq., and amendments thereto.
