AZ HB2248

Requires all employers doing business in Arizona to report the hiring of new employees and rehiring of previously separated employees to the Department of Economic Security.

Employers must submit reports within 20 days of hiring or rehiring, containing the employee's name, address, social security number, and the date the employee first performed services for pay.

Reports may be submitted via W-4 form or equivalent, by mail, fax, electronic transmission, or other authorized means; employers with multi-state employees may designate one state for reporting.

Collected information may only be used for child support administration under federal law, identifying benefit fraud, and administering employment security and workers' compensation programs.

Unauthorized disclosure of reported information carries a civil penalty of $1,000 per offense and may result in administrative discipline of the employee or agent responsible.
