(1) When the enforcing agency issues a medical support notice under ORS 25.325, the enforcing agency shall notify the parties by regular mail to the last known addresses of the parties:

(a) That the notice has been sent to the providing party's employer; and

(b) Of the providing party's rights and duties under the notice.

(2) A providing party may contest a medical support notice within 30 days after the date the premium is first withheld pursuant to the notice or, if the health benefit plan is provided at no cost to the providing party, the date the first premium is paid by the employer.

(3) The only basis for contesting a medical support notice is a mistake of fact. A "mistake of fact" means any of the following:

(a) No order to provide health care coverage under a health benefit plan has been issued in regard to the providing party's child;

(b) The amount to be withheld for premiums is greater than is permissible under ORS 25.331;

(c) The alleged providing party is not the party from whom health care coverage is required; or
