The department is amending 388-14A-4900 – Insurers must report claim information to the division of child support and withhold payments if directed. This rulemaking action is to implement SB 5842 (Chapter 126, Laws of 2024), which amends RCW 26.23.037 effective June 6, 2024. As a result of the legislation, the division of child support (DCS) is to minimize the use of social security numbers reported directly to DCS by insurance companies complying with the mandatory reporting requirements of RCW 26.23.037. |
