the department shall request that a depository institution provide
the department with a designated address for receiving notices to
withhold.

address pursuant to subdivision (a), the department shall send all
notices to that address unless the depository institution provides
notification of another address. The department shall send all
notices to withhold to a new designated address 30 days after

(c) If a notice to withhold is mailed to the branch where the

discretion, has reason to believe may have in its possession, or
under its control, any credits or other personal property or other
things of value, belonging to a child support obligor, to withhold,
from the credits or other personal property or other things of value,
the amount of any child support delinquency, and interest, due from
an obligor and transmit that amount withheld to the department at the
times that it may designate, but not less than 10 business days from
receipt of the notice. The notice shall state the amount due from
the obligor and shall be delivered or transmitted to the branch or
office reported pursuant to subdivision (a), or other address
designated by that depository institution for purposes of the
department serving notice by magnetic media, electronic transmission,
or other electronic technology.
