MULTISTATE EMPLOYER NOTIFICATION FORM FOR NEW HIRE (W4) REPORTING

This form is provided to employers who have employees in two or more states and wish to register to submit their new hire reports to one state or to make changes to their previous registration.

If you are an employer with employees in two or more states AND you will transmit the required reports magnetically or electronically, Federal law allows you to comply with the new hire reporting requirement by exercising one of the following options (42 USC 653A(b)(1)(B)):

Option #1: Send the new hire reports to the State Directory of New Hires of the state in which each newly hired employee works.

OR

Option #2: Designate one state in which any employee works and transmit ALL new hire reports to the

State Directory of New Hires of that state. You must notify the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in writing of your choice to report to only one state and identify the

chosen state (42 USC 653A(b)(1)(B)).
