National Medical Support Notice

This document contains a proposed rule that, upon adoption, would implement an amendment to section 609(a) of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) made by section 401 of the Child Support Performance and Incentive Act of 1998 (CSPIA), Public Law 105-200. CSPIA requires the Secretaries of Labor and Health and Human Services to jointly promulgate a National Medical Support Notice to be issued by State agencies as a means of enforcing the health care coverage provisions in a child support order, and to be treated by plan administrators of group health plans as a qualified medical child support order under section 609(a) of ERISA. This proposed rule would affect group health plans, participants in group health plans, noncustodial children of such participants, and State agencies that administer child support enforcement programs.
