This form was created in response to
the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act, which was
signed on March 18, 2010. The form was developed as a template for
the convenience of employers who must collect affidavits from
qualifying employees. The form is not filed, rather an employer
must retain the affidavit in order to justify claiming certain HIRE
Act benefits. A model form is needed as soon as possible so that
employers can begin confidently claiming payroll
exemptions.
