The Illinois Wage Deduction Summons is a legal document issued by the state of Illinois to an employer when an employee is behind on their child support payments. This document is used by the Department of Healthcare and Family Services to collect money from an employee’s wages to pay for past due child support payments. The document requires the employer to deduct money from the employee’s wages and send it directly to the Department of Healthcare and Family Services as payment for the child support debt. There are two types of Illinois Wage Deduction Summons: an Emergency Summons and a Regular Summons. An Emergency Summons requires the employer to begin making deductions within 14 days of the date of the Summons. A Regular Summons requires deductions to begin within 30 days of the date of the Summons. Both types of summons require the employer to send the payments directly to the Department of Healthcare and Family Services.
