If there is more than one order of income withholding against an employee, and the total amount to be withheld exceeds the limits imposed by Section 303(b) of the Consumer Credit Protection Act, the payments pursuant to the orders must be allocated in the following manner:
- If the total amount in the orders designated as current support exceeds the amount available for income withholding, allocate to each order an amount for current support equal to the fraction of total current support represented by the order (i.e., the amount of current support in that order divided by the total amount of current support in all orders) multiplied by the amount available for income withholding.
- If the total amount in the orders designated as current support does not exceed the amount available for income withholding, pay all amounts of current support and allocate the remaining income available for income withholding among the orders according to the fraction of past due support each order represents of the total past due support.
