Your Questions, Answered

  1. What is the purpose of the Maryland New Hire form?

    The Maryland New Hire form is used to report newly hired or rehired employees to the state. This reporting is essential for tracking employment and ensuring compliance with child support enforcement laws. By submitting this information, employers help the state maintain accurate records, which can assist in locating individuals who owe child support and ensuring that support payments are made on time.

  2. How should I fill out the Maryland New Hire form?

    When completing the Maryland New Hire form, it’s important to print neatly in capital letters. Avoid writing in the margins or touching the edges of the boxes to ensure clarity. Fill in all required fields, including the Federal Employer ID Number (FEIN), employee information, and the date of hire. If certain information is not applicable, such as the State Unemployment Insurance Number if it hasn’t been issued, you should indicate that by writing “APPLIEDFOR” or “EXEMPT” where necessary.

  3. What information is required on the form?

    The form requires several key pieces of information:

    • Employer details, including the FEIN, employer name, and address.
    • Employee details, such as Social Security Number, date of hire, name, address, and salary.
    • Information regarding whether health care benefits are available and the employee's gender.

    Providing accurate and complete information is crucial for processing the form correctly.

  4. What is the deadline for submitting the Maryland New Hire form?

Common mistakes

  1. Failing to use capital letters when filling out the form can lead to misunderstandings. Clarity is crucial.

  2. Not including the Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) can delay processing. Ensure this number matches quarterly wage reports.

  3. Leaving out the State Unemployment Insurance Number (SUIN) can create complications. If it has not been issued, write “APPLIEDFOR” instead.

  4. Providing an incorrect Employee Social Security Number (SSN) can result in significant issues. Double-check this information for accuracy.

  5. Missing the Date of Hire field can lead to compliance problems. This date is essential for timely reporting.

  6. Neglecting to indicate whether health care benefits are available can create confusion. Mark this clearly as Yes or No.

  7. Not providing a contact name or optional information can hinder communication. Including this information is beneficial.

  8. Failing to submit the report within 20 days of the hire date can result in penalties. Timeliness is key.
