New Hire Fact Sheet

Employers must report new hire information within 20 days of the employee's first day of work.

By law, employers are required to report:

  • Employee's name, home address, Social Security number, date of birth, first day of work, and salary
  • Employer's name, work address, Federal Employer ID Number (FEIN), and DC Unemployment Insurance number

The District of Columbia New Hire Registry requests three additional data elements:

  • Employee suffix
  • Availability of employee medical benefits
  • Employee gender

DC New Hire Registry Reporting Forms can be obtained from the DC New Registry Hire Help Desk. Help Desk staff are available to assist you Monday through Friday between 8 am and 5 pm, and interactive telecommunications services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 1-877-846-9523.
