Home       FAQ    Links     Login			Printer Friendly Version Using the Online System: How do I obtain access to the Online New Hire Reporting features?   When trying to access the Login Page, I get a message that "Certificate Authority is Expired". What does this mean?   I don't know if I submitted a new hire, or I think I may have made an error in reporting a new hire. Can I view the new hires I previously submitted?   I already submitted a new hire and I now discover that an error was made in the information I submitted. How do I correct this error?   If I report a new hire via the Internet, do I need to follow up with a paper copy?   Why can't I report a New Hire that is more than 180 days old? I was reviewing our records and discovered I forgot to report a New Hire.   Why can't I have an additional UserID and Password assigned for my company for reporting New Hires?   Why must I register for Unemployment Insurance (UI) purposes before I can report New Hires?   What are the requirements and file format for submitting files via FTP?       If you are submitting a file that contains employees for more than one FEIN and/or State UI number, be sure that each record contains the appropriate employer data for each employee.   Additional instructions for multi-state employers:     FTP all New Hire information in accordance with Connecticut's requirements. You do not need to report the required elements from every State in which you have employees - only report what is required by Connecticut.     If you are reporting as a multi-state employer for the first time:       1. Notify the Secretary of Health and Human Services that you have designated Connecticut as recipient of all your New Hire information for your entire business by visiting the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Child Support Enforcement website at:            https://ocsp.acf.hhs.gov/OCSE/       2. If you need to update your multistate employer information (including mergers and acquisitions), you may do so online or by downloading the forms, printing them out, filling them in, and then faxing or mailing them to:         Department of Health and Human Services         Administration for Children and Families         Office of Child Support Enforcement         Multistate Employer Notification         P. O. Box 509         Randallstown, MD 21133         Fax:  (410) 277-9325       3. FTP all New Hire information in accordance with Connecticut's requirements.
