The Washington State Legislature has not yet approved state operating and capital budgets for the 2015–17 biennium, which begins July 1. If the Legislature does not enact budgets by June 30, state agencies will have to implement full or partial shutdowns. While we still expect the budgets to be approved by June 30, the Division of Child Support has been working with the state Office of Financial Management to develop contingency plans. . In the unlikely event that a shutdown is necessary, we will have to suspend all services except those required to fulfill our federal obligation to transmit withholding notices and disburse collected funds within two business days until the 2015–17 budgets are enacted.
