Employers who employ workers in more than 1 state have the option to report all new hires to a single state in which the employer has employees. To exercise this option a multi-state employer must (1) notify the Secretary of Health and Human Services in writing to designate the state to which they will report new hires and (2) transmit the report magnetically or electronically to the designated state. Write the request to:
US Dept of Health & Human Services
Office of Child Support Enforcement
P.O. Box 509
Randallstown, MD 21133
Your correspondence should include the following information:
1. Your Federal Employer ID Number (FEIN)
2. Any other FEIN's under which you do business
3. Your company name, address, and telephone number
4. The state to which you will report all workers
5. A list of the states in which you employ workers
6. Name & Phone # of person responsible for providing data
Additional information concerning multi-state reporting requirements is available from the US Dept. of Health & Human Services at telephone number: 410-277-9470. An employer can also download or complete online the "Multistate Employer Notification Form for New Hire Reporting" (optional form) from the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE).
The State of Utah strongly encourages multi-state employers to report newly hired Utah employees to the Utah New Hire Registry. This will help employers reduce unemployment insurance costs by providing information for early detection and prevention of overpayments and fraud.
