- (c) specify the amount which will be withdrawn.
- (3) The office may terminate the agreement and initiate immediate income withholding if:
- (a) required to meet federal or state requirements or guidelines;
- (b) funds available in the account at the scheduled time of withdrawal are insufficient to satisfy the agreement; or
- (c) requested by the obligor.
- (4) If the payment amount requires adjusting, the office may initiate a new written agreement with the obligor. If, for any reason, the office and obligor fail to agree on the terms, the office may terminate the agreement and initiate income withholding.
- (5) If an agreement is terminated for insufficient funds, a new agreement may not be entered into between the office and obligor for a period of at least 12 months.
