Am I required to report new hire information?

Yes. Employers must report new hires directly to the Hawaii Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA) by faxing or mailing a copy of the employer’s IRS Form W-4. There is a penalty for failure to file a timely or accurate report of a new hire. Mail or fax completed Form W-4 to the CSEA at:

UI and the CSEA periodically cross-match data to detect situations where unemployment benefits are paid to claimants who return to work without notifying UI. Employers save tax dollars by reporting new hires correctly and promptly.
