OR Rev Stat § 25.323 (2021)
2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 01 - Courts, Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure|Chapter 025 - Support Enforcement|Section 25.323 - Medical support.

(1) Every child support order must include a medical support clause. (2) Whenever a child support order that does not include a medical support clause is modified the modification must include a medical support clause. (3) A medical support clause may require that medical support be provided in more than one form, and may make the requirement that medical support be provided in a particular form contingent on the availability of another form of medical support. (4) A medical support clause must require that one or both parents provide health care coverage for a child that is appropriate and available at the time the order is entered. If health care coverage for a child is not appropriate and available at the time the order is entered, the order must: (a) Require that one or both parents provide health care coverage for the child at any time thereafter when such coverage becomes available; and (b) Either require the payment of cash medical support, or include findings on why cash medical support has not been required. (5) For the purposes of subsection (4) of this section, health care coverage is appropriate and available for a child if the coverage: (a) Is accessible, as described in subsection (6) of this section; (b) Is reasonable in cost and does not require the payment of unreasonable deductibles or copayments; and (c) Provides coverage, at a minimum, for medical expenses, hospital expenses, preventive care, emergency care, acute care and chronic care. (6) Health care coverage is accessible for the purposes of subsection (5)(a) of this section if: (a) The coverage will be available for at least one year, based on the work history of the parent providing the coverage; and (b) The coverage either does not have service area limitations or the child lives within 30 miles or 30 minutes of a primary care provider who is eligible for payment under the coverage. (7) A medical support clause may not order a providing party to pay cash medical support or to pay to provide health care coverage if the providing party’s income is equal to or less than the Oregon minimum wage for full-time employment. (8) Cash medical support and the cost of other medical support ordered under a medical support clause constitute a child support obligation and must be included in the child support calculation made under ORS 25.275. [2003 c.637 §3; 2007 c.878 §6; 2009 c.351 §2; 2009 c.595 §55; 2011 c.318 §6; 2017 c.467 §1]

2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 01 - Courts, Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure|Chapter 025 - Support Enforcement|Section 25.325 - Enforcing medical support; form of notice; rules.

(1) When a child support order with a medical support clause is entered, the court or the enforcing agency may issue a qualified medical child support order as provided in section 609 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (29 U.S.C. 1169). The qualified medical child support order shall direct the providing party’s employer, or the plan administrator for the providing party’s employee health care coverage, to enroll the providing party’s child in the employee health benefit plan and direct the providing party’s employer to withhold any required premium from the providing party’s compensation. (2) When a child support order with a medical support clause is entered and support enforcement services are being provided under ORS 25.080, the enforcing agency shall, when appropriate, issue a medical support notice to the providing party’s employer within two business days after receiving information under ORS 25.790 that the employer has hired or rehired the providing party. (3) If a child support order with a medical support clause is in effect or is being sought: (a) The providing party’s employer or the plan administrator for the providing party’s employee health care coverage shall release to the enforcing agency, upon request, the name and address of the health benefit plan that provides the coverage and the plan administrator; and (b) The plan administrator shall release to the obligee or the enforcing agency, upon request, information about health care coverage for dependents under the employee health benefit plan. (4) If a qualified medical child support order or a medical support notice has been served on the providing party’s employer, the order or notice is binding on the employer and the plan administrator for the providing party’s employee health benefit plan to the extent that the child is eligible to be enrolled in the health benefit plan under the applicable terms and conditions of the plan and the standard enrollment guidelines as described in ORS 743B.470. Enrollment of the child shall be allowed at any time, notwithstanding any enrollment season restrictions. (5) The Department of Justice, by rule, shall prescribe the form of a medical support notice for the purposes of ORS 25.321 to 25.343. In prescribing the form, the department shall consider all relevant federal law relating to medical support notices. [2003 c.637 §4; 2007 c.878 §7; 2009 c.351 §3]

The notice may be served upon the withholder or the withholder’s registered agent, corporate officer, bookkeeper, accountant, person responsible for payroll or local office manager by: (a) Personal service; (b) Any type of mail that is calculated to give actual notice and is addressed to one of the persons listed in this subsection; or (c) Electronic means if the employer has the ability to receive the medical support notice in that manner. (2) Service of a medical support notice constitutes receipt of a medical child support order. (3) The enforcing agency shall, as provided in ORS 25.333, notify the parties that the medical support notice has been served on the providing party’s employer. [2003 c.637 §5; 2007 c.878 §8]

OR Rev Stat § 25.331 (2021)
2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 01 - Courts, Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure|Chapter 025 - Support Enforcement|Section 25.331 - Obligation to withhold.

(1) Upon notification from the plan administrator that the child is enrolled in the health benefit plan, the employer shall withhold from the providing party’s compensation the providing party’s share, if any, of premiums for the health benefit plan. The employer shall forward the amount withheld as required by the health benefit plan. (2) The withholding required by a qualified medical child support order or a medical support notice is a continuing obligation. The qualified medical child support order or medical support notice and the withholding remain in effect and are binding upon the employer until further notice from the court or the enforcing agency. (3)(a) An amount withheld by an employer in compliance with a withholding order issued for monetary support and a qualified medical child support order or medical support notice may not exceed 50 percent of the providing party’s net disposable income. (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this subsection, upon the motion of a party and after a hearing, the court may order the withholding of more than 50 percent of the providing party’s net disposable income. However, the amount withheld may not exceed the amount allowed under section 303(b) of the federal Consumer Credit Protection Act (15 U.S.C. 1673(b)). (4) If a providing party’s compensation drops to a level at which withholding under this section exceeds the amount allowed under subsection (3) of this section, the employer shall stop the withholding and send the court or the enforcing agency, as the case may be, a written notice within 15 days of stopping the withholding. The notice shall include the providing party’s name, address and Social Security number and the date the employer stopped withholding under this section. (5) An employer is not subject to civil liability to an individual or agency for conduct or actions in compliance with a medical support notice if the employer: (a) Is served with a medical support notice under ORS 25.327 that is regular on its face; and (b) Complies with the provisions of the medical support notice if the notice appears to be in conformance with section 609 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (29 U.S.C. 1169).

OR Rev Stat § 25.333 (2021)
2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 01 - Courts, Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure|Chapter 025 - Support Enforcement|Section 25.333 - Contesting medical support notice.

(1) When the enforcing agency issues a medical support notice under ORS 25.325, the enforcing agency shall notify the parties by regular mail to the last known addresses of the parties: (a) That the notice has been sent to the providing party’s employer; and (b) Of the providing party’s rights and duties under the notice. (2) A providing party may contest a medical support notice within 30 days after the date the premium is first withheld pursuant to the notice or, if the health benefit plan is provided at no cost to the providing party, the date the first premium is paid by the employer. (3) The only basis for contesting a medical support notice is a mistake of fact. A "mistake of fact" means any of the following: (a) No order to provide health care coverage under a health benefit plan has been issued in regard to the providing party’s child; (b) The amount to be withheld for premiums is greater than is permissible under ORS 25.331; (c) The alleged providing party is not the party from whom health care coverage is required; or (d) The providing party’s income is equal to or less than Oregon minimum wage for full-time employment. (4) The providing party may contest the medical support notice by requesting an administrative review. After receiving a request for review and within 45 days after the date the premium is first withheld pursuant to the medical support notice, the enforcing agency shall determine, based on an evaluation of the facts, whether the withholding for premiums may continue. The enforcing agency shall inform the parties of the determination in writing and include information regarding the right to appeal the determination. (5) Any appeal of the enforcing agency’s determination under subsection (4) of this section is to the circuit court for a hearing under ORS 183.484. (6) The initiation of proceedings to contest a medical support notice or an appeal of the enforcing agency’s determination under this section does not stay the withholding of premiums.

OR Rev Stat § 25.335 (2021)
2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 01 - Courts, Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure|Chapter 025 - Support Enforcement|Section 25.335 - Termination of support order.

When support enforcement services are being provided under ORS 25.080, the enforcing agency shall notify the employer when there is no longer in effect a support order requiring health care coverage for which the enforcing agency is responsible. However, termination of the health care coverage is governed by the health benefit plan’s provisions for termination and by applicable federal law. [2003 c.637 §9]
OR Rev Stat § 25.337 (2021)
2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 01 - Courts, Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure|Chapter 025 - Support Enforcement|Section 25.337 - Liability.

(1) If the plan administrator or the employer fails to comply with the requirements described in ORS 25.329 or 25.331, the enforcing agency or obligee may bring a civil action against the plan administrator or employer for medical expenses, the providing party’s share of the premiums, attorney fees and costs. (2) An employer commits an unlawful employment practice if the employer discharges a providing party, refuses to hire a providing party or in any other manner discriminates, retaliates or takes disciplinary action against a providing party because of the entry of a medical support notice or qualified medical child support order or because of the obligations imposed upon the plan administrator by the order. An employee may bring a civil action under ORS 659A.885 or may file a complaint with the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries in the manner provided by ORS 659A.820. (3) A providing party who fails to maintain health care coverage for a child as ordered is liable, from the date of the order, for any medical expenses resulting from the failure to maintain coverage. (4) The remedies described in this section are not exclusive. Nothing in this section precludes action by the court to enforce a judicial or administrative order requiring health care coverage or payment of medical support by imposition of remedial or punitive sanctions for contempt or otherwise.

When an employer is unable to continue withholding from a providing party’s compensation because the relationship between the employer and the providing party ends, the employer shall send the enforcing agency a written notice within 15 days of the termination of the relationship. The notice must include the providing party’s name, the providing party’s last known address, the providing party’s Social Security number, the date the relationship terminated and, if known, the name and address of a new employer of or other provider of a health benefit plan to the providing party.

Except as provided in ORS 25.339, withholding under ORS 25.378 has priority over any other legal process under Oregon law against the same income. [Formerly 25.722; 2003 c.637 §16]

2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 01 - Courts, Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure|Chapter 025 - Support Enforcement|Section 25.378 - Payment of support by income withholding; initiation of income withholding.

(1) Except as otherwise provided in ORS 25.396, when a support order is entered or modified by the Division of Child Support, a district attorney, an administrative law judge or a circuit court, including a juvenile court, the order shall include a provision requiring the obligor to pay support by income withholding regardless of whether support enforcement services are being provided under ORS 25.080. In addition to the income withholding provided for in this subsection, income withholding may be initiated in accordance with subsections (2) to (6) of this section. (2) When an obligor is subject to a support order issued or registered in this state and fails to make payments at least equal to the amount of support payable for one month, a court or the administrator, whichever is appropriate, shall initiate income withholding without the need for a judicial or administrative hearing and without the need for advance notice to the obligor of the withholding. (3) When an arrearage exists and notice of the delinquent amount has been given to the obligor, a court, upon application, shall issue a withholding order upon the ex parte request of a person holding support rights or the administrator. (4) If an obligor is not otherwise subject to income withholding a court or the administrator may issue an order to withhold upon the ex parte motion of the obligor. (5) Upon the request of the holder of support rights, a court or the administrator, as appropriate, may issue a withholding order at any time if: (a) The obligor is not otherwise subject to withholding; and (b) After notice and an opportunity to object has been given to the obligor, a finding is made that it would be in the best interests of the child to issue a withholding order. (6) A court or the administrator shall issue an order to withhold when a support order or an arrearage from another jurisdiction is entered in Oregon in accordance with interstate income withholding under ORS chapter 110.
