The new hire reporting program requires that all employers report newly hired employees to the State Directory of New Hires (SDNH) in their State. States use this information to enforce an income withholding order against a non-custodial parent who switched jobs or who was not previously located. Some states outsource their new hire reporting programs.

The Child Support Division of MAXIMUS operates statewide new hire reporting programs, and performs public outreach and training to all types of employers who are required to comply with State and Federal laws to report newly hired employees to the State Directory of New Hires. We work to ensure that as many employers as possible report new hires, and that they report electronically through the Internet whenever possible. This leads to increased data accuracy and faster turnaround, reducing costs to the state. In addition, this information is used to continue the enforcement of an income withholding order against a non-custodial parent.

Our new hire operations include experienced customer service and data entry units, seasoned employer outreach, and the creation and maintenance of a web site for each state. MAXIMUS encourages employers to report electronically, whether it be over the Internet or via tape, providing seamless, accurate, and timely communication. Two examples of our websites are:
