If the obligor is employed, the employer will receive a wage attachment ordering the employer to deduct the support amount from the obligor's wages. The employer then sends the payments to be applied to the account. If there is no wage attachment in effect, the obligor is responsible for paying the support amount directly in the amount ordered by the Court. If the obligor has more than one account, the payment is divided among all accounts. After the payments are processed, and if there are no "holds" on the account, the support check will be printed and sent to the obligee. As of October 2, 1999, all payments will be sent to the Statewide Collection and Disbursement Unit (SCDU) in Harrisburg. They will be processed and checks will be mailed from SCDU.
