Federal and State laws require that every state provide employers with one centralized location for processing of income withholding for child support orders. To meet these requirements the State of Illinois created the State Disbursement Unit (SDU). Since 10/1/99 all wage deductions have been processed by SDU.
The Wayne County Circuit Clerk’s Office is committed to assisting the SDU in this effort. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at 618-842-7684.
