Why not just use the information on the quarterly wage reporting?
Quicker notification is needed to enable child support officials to locate individuals and enforce child support orders. New hire reporting provides up-to-date employment information that can be used to collect child support from individuals who move from job to job. Quarterly data is often out of date before the child support office receives the information. There can be as much as a six-month lag between the time the data is submitted and when it is available to child support officials. Since the data will be significantly more current under New Hire Reporting, non-custodial parents can be located more quickly, allowing child support orders to be established and/or enforced more quickly.
