1. A written notice or a notice to withhold income is binding upon any income payer of an obligor.
2. To reimburse the income payer for the costs of the income payer in making a withholding, the income payer may deduct $3 from the amount paid the obligor each time the income payer makes a withholding.
3. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, if an income payer receives written notices or notices to withhold income for more than one obligor, the income payer may consolidate the amounts of money that are payable to:
(a) The enforcing authority and pay those amounts with one check; and
(b) The State Treasurer and pay those amounts with one check,
but the income payer shall attach to each check a statement identifying by name and social security number each obligor for whom payment is made and the amount transmitted for that obligor.
4. If the provisions of NRS 353.1467 apply, the income payer shall make payment to the enforcing authority or the State Treasurer, as applicable, by way of any method of electronic transfer of money allowed by the enforcing authority or the State Treasurer. If an income payer has 50 or more employees, the income payer shall make payment to the Division of Welfare and Supportive Services by way of any method of electronic transfer of money allowed by the Division. If an income payer makes payment by way of electronic transfer of money pursuant to this subsection, the income payer shall transmit separately the name and appropriate identification number, if any, of each obligor for whom payment is made and the amount transmitted for that obligor.
5. An income payer shall cooperate with and provide relevant information to an enforcing authority as necessary to enable it to enforce an obligation of support. A disclosure made in good faith pursuant to this subsection does not give rise to any action for damages resulting from the disclosure.
6. As used in this section, "electronic transfer of money" has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 353.1467.
