# April-May Child Support Report Examines Extra Paydays in 2020

“[**How Extra Paydays Affect Child Support Withholding**](https://www.acf.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/programs/css/april_may_2020_child_support_report.pdf),” written by APA member Michael Bateman, CPP, Payroll Manager for Vail Resorts, appears in the “Employer Corner” column of the April-May [***Child Support Report***](https://www.acf.hhs.gov/css/newsletter-sign-up), a monthly e-newsletter published by the federal Office of Child Support Enforcement. Bateman wrote the article as a member of APA’s Government Relations Task Force (GRTF) [**Child Support and Other Garnishments Subcommittee**](https://www.americanpayroll.org/compliance/government-relations/task-force).

Employees are far more likely to experience an extra payday in 2020 than in other years, Bateman says. “Special wage garnishments that are based on 26/52 payroll periods, such as child support payments, can be especially challenging as those orders come from different agencies in various states, and the language used is not uniform.”
