Child Support Intercept
|
|
As of July 1, 2008, casinos are required to check an online database of persons who are delinquent in child support payments prior to awarding cash jackpot prizes that require an IRS form. If the winner of the cash prize is listed on the database, the casino is required to withhold the amount of the child support delinquency and submit it to the State. The withheld funds are directed to the Colorado Department of Human Services to be applied toward the delinquency. If the delinquency is less than the cash prize, the remainder is paid to the winner. An IRS W-2G form is required for all slot machine jackpots above $1,200, certain poker jackpots above $600 and poker tournament prizes above $5,000.
