Welcome to the Multistate Employer Registry
Federal law (42 USC 653A(b)(1)(A)) requires employers to supply the following information about newly hired employees to the State Directory of New Hires in the state where the employee works:
- Employee's name, address, Social Security number, and date of hire (the date services for remuneration were first performed by the employee)
- Employer’s name, address, and Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN)
If you are an employer with employees working in two or more states AND you will transmit the required information or 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 for the state in which each newly hired employee works.
Option #2: Designate one state in which any employee works and transmit ALL new hire reports to the State Directory of New Hires for that state.
If you select Option #2, you must inform 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. The purpose of this online form is to offer a convenient means for such notification. Multistate employers may also inform the Secretary by letter or fax by downloading and completing the PDF version of the multistate registration form.
If you are no longer a multistate employer OR you are a multistate employer, but
no longer report to a single state, select "No Longer a Multistate Employer"
below.
Note: If your company merges with or acquires another
company or has other changes that may affect this reporting requirement, please
update this form.
