Where this section sits in the code
  1. Domestic Relations Law
  2. Article 13. Provisions Applicable to More Than One Type of Matrimonial Action

§ 240-b. Order of support by parent. When the court makes an order of

support pursuant to section two hundred forty of this article, and where

permitted under federal law and where the record of the proceedings

contains such information, the court shall require the social security

number of such parent to be affixed to such order; provided, however,

that no such order shall be invalid because of the omission of such

number. Where the record of the proceedings contains such information,

such order shall also include on its face the name and address of the

employer, if any, of the person chargeable with support provided,

however, that failure to comply with this requirement shall not

invalidate such order. Where the order of child support or combined

child and spouse support is made on behalf of persons in receipt of

public assistance or in receipt of services pursuant to section one

hundred eleven-g of the social services law, the court shall require

each party to provide, and update upon any change, the following

information to the court by reporting such change to the support

collection unit designated by the appropriate social services district:

social security number, residential and mailing addresses, telephone

number, driver's license number; and name, address and telephone number

of the parties' employers. Due process requirements for notice and

service of process for subsequent hearings are met, with respect to such

party, upon sending written notice by first class mail to the most

recent residential address on record with the support collection unit;

or by sending by first class mail written notice to the most recent

employer address on record with the support collection unit, if a true

copy thereof also is sent by first class mail to the most recent

residential address on record with the support collection unit. Any such

order issued on or after the first day of October, nineteen hundred

ninety-nine shall also include, where available, the social security

number of each child on whose behalf support has been ordered.
