Notwithstanding any contest by the obligor under this subsection, the employer shall initiate withholding until the employer receives notice from the department that withholding is no longer required. Any funds that are found to be inappropriately withheld shall be refunded to the obligor, if no arrearages exist, in accordance with rules and regulations of the department.
