What is the purpose of New Hire Reporting?

New Hire Reporting serves the essential purpose of enforcing child support orders. This system is designed to assist in collecting child support by efficiently identifying new employees and their earnings. When an employer reports a new hire, the information is shared with state child support agencies. This allows these agencies to quickly establish or modify child support orders, ensuring that non-custodial parents contribute financially to their children's upbringing.

Most states have laws requiring employers to report newly hired employees to the appropriate state agency. This helps streamline the process of tracking parents who may owe child support, allowing for quicker enforcement actions such as wage garnishment. The overarching goal is to promote the financial stability of families, ensuring that children receive the support they need.

The other options, while relevant to various aspects of employment and labor law, do not capture the specific intent and function of New Hire Reporting.
