If a person changes jobs, do you have to determine where they are working in order to garnish the wages, or does the wage garnishment appear when their social security number is processed by the employer?

Ask an attorney. This may be something that is different state by state.

I work in HR, in some cases a "garnishment" for CS will appear with a soc. #, but as an employer we are not to "garnish" without a court order, if you know where he is working, you can call or write to the court and report it, sometimes the court will follow up and other times they don't you gotta keep calling until something happens.

It does not happen right away... they do run the SSN to find out if CS is owed... most of the time... however other of the time it is up to the person who owes the $ to tell where they are working... it can take up to a month before it kicks in... as they need to do a new garnishment at the new job.
However the longer it takes the person who pays CS to begin paying again the more they owe.

I wished it worked that way ... automatically ... my ex had his wadges garnish for 6 mths ... he either changed jobs, works for cash, sells drugs .. or lives at home with mommy all day ... because I haven't seen a single payment in over a year 1/2 now ... if you know where they're working ... make sure you give them all the info they need ... my case is on "hold" status ... until they find him working again somewhere ... !

I'm pretty sure it has to be re-submitted to the new employer. And, it takes some time, so the garnished person can get away from it for three months or so.
I'm an employer and we get these occasionally. And, the new employee's reaction is always "damn, they found me again". ;-)

it depends if they get payed under the table or not. but when their is a social security number involved mybe not automatically but it will catch up by tax time.
my dad was self employed so he could say he dident work and i never got a dime of support from my real dad cause he doesent pay taxes thus for he dident work according to the state meaning he had no child support money to pay there is alott of loop holes when it comes to that kinda stuff.

It will not show up until taxes are processed. If the obligor is in a different state than the order was issued it will be difficult to track. We live in Michigan and my husband has an order that they can not track. He has to mail his payments in himself

i'd like to know this too...i think if you get your checks from the CS office it will give you the amt you are supposed to get but if you get your checks from the employer...i think not!
