In any action in which a court support order is issued or modified, the court issuing or modifying the order shall conduct a hearing, prior to or at the time of the issuance of the order, to determine the employment status of the obligor, the obligor’s social security number, the name and business address of the obligor’s employer, and any other information necessary to enable the court or a child support enforcement agency to issue any withholding or deduction notice described in section 3121.03 of the Revised Code or for the court to issue a court order described in division (C) or (D) of section 3121.03 of the Revised Code.
