Can a Washington employer assume that every National Medical Support Notice that the employer receives is from the division of child support?

(1) The National Medical Support Notice (NMSN) is a federally mandated form which is used by child support enforcement agencies all over the United States, not just the division of child support (DCS).

(2) Each NMSN form contains information advising the employer which child support enforcement agency sent the NMSN.
