Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

My child support states he is to pay 20% of bonus money. If he is getting a special assignment allowance of 2500 semimonthly on top of his regular base pay does it qualify as bonus money? Legal definition of bonus is any sum of money above and beyond regular pay or wages.
