New Hire Reporting

Federal and DC law requires employers to report newly hired or re-hired employees to District of Columbia Directory of New Hires.

The New Hire Directory works with employers to help ensure that all new hires are reported as required. The Federal Office of Child Support Services (OCSS) provides states and the District with a quarterly report containing information regarding employers who may not have properly reported in previous quarters. Using the federal report, the DC Directory of New Hires engages in outreach to employers who may be non-compliant in reporting their new hires, provides information on the reporting requirements, and assists the employers in achieving compliance.

Employers should report each newly hired or re-hired DC employee to the District of Columbia Directory of New Hires.

New employers can register at New User Registration to submit new-hire reporting online. A federal employer identification number (FEIN) and a valid email address are needed for registration. In the alternative, an employer may submit new-hire reports by mail, using the contact information below:
