The federal Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) requires businesses to report when they hire new employees. The goal of the PRWORA was to assist state child support enforcement by locating employees who are subject to garnishment orders and to help prevent fraud in government benefit payments.
Employers are required to report this information to a designated state agency when they hire or rehire employees:
- Employee name
- Employee address
- Employee SSN
- Employee hire or rehire date
- Employer name
- Employer address
- Employer FEIN
New hire reporting services are included in Workforce Acceleration. When employees are hired in the system with the Include in New Hire Reporting box checked, Insperity will include them in the next scheduled transmission to the state agency where the employee works.
