In March of this year the Supreme Court approved the annual updating of several Rules Appendices relating to the Child Support Guidelines, including Appendix IX-H, “Combined Tax Withholding Tables for Use with the Child Support Guidelines.” This notice is to advise that the Court subsequently approved a further revised version of Appendix IX-H, as necessitated by the federal economic stimulus legislation, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). The ARRA, among its many provisions, amended the federal tax withholding tables effective April 1, 2009 so as to result in higher net pay for certain wage earners, that is, to withhold less from those individuals. The attached revised Rules Appendix IX-H, which was effective as of April 28, 2009, reflects those changes in the tax withholding amounts.
