State New Hire Registry

State New Hire Registry

This state reporting requirement is for child support enforcement purposes. The idea is to prevent a parent from staying under the radar by moving from state to state to avoid paying child support.

When to Report New Hires:

You are required to report any new employee to a designated state new hire registry within 20 days from the date of hire.

What to Report:

Report the following information:

  1. The employer's name, address, and EIN
  2. The employee's full name, social security number, and current address

An employer may report new hire information electronically. Many states will accept a completed W-4 with employer information added.

Employees in Multiple States:

If an employer has employees in two or more states, the employer can elect to report new hires in each state, or select one state in which to report all new hires.

Whichever state the employer selects to report all new hires, that state agency will automatically share the reported information with the other states.
