The withholder shall include, with the payment, the obligor's name and case number and the date upon which the income was withheld.(3) When payments are made to the Department of Justice, the withholder may combine amounts withheld from different obligors' incomes in a single payment as long as such payment is accompanied by a list that separately identifies which portion of the payment is attributable to each obligor, the obligor's name and case number, if any.(4) As used in this section, "business day" means a day on which the Department of Justice is open for regular business.
