DWD 40.04 (4) (b) The department shall revise the schedule in Appendix C at least once every 4 years. The revision shall be based on changes in the federal poverty guidelines since the schedule was last revised. The department shall publish revisions to the schedule in the Wisconsin Administrative Register.

Note: The schedule in Appendix C provides reduced percentage rates that may be used to determine the child support obligation for payers with an income below approximately 125% of the federal poverty guidelines. If a payer's monthly income available for child support is below approximately 75% of the federal poverty guidelines, the court may order an amount appropriate for the payer's total economic circumstances. For monthly income amount for child support between approximately 75% and 125% of the federal poverty guidelines, the percentage rates in the schedule gradually increase as income increases. The percentage rates used in s. DWD 40.03 (1) apply to payers with income greater than or equal to approximately 125% of the federal poverty guidelines.
