BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE:

Section 1.Amend§2208(c) of Title 13 of the Delaware Code by making insertions as shown by underlining and deletions as shown by strikethrough as follows:

§2208. State Directory of New Hires.

(c) Information comparisons. -- The State Directory of New Hires shall, directly or by contract, conduct automated comparisons of the social security numbers reported by employers pursuant to §1156A of Title 30 and the social security numbers appearing in the records of the State case registry.

Section 2.Amend Section 1156A(b) of Title 30 of the Delaware Code by making insertions as shown by underlining and deletions as shown by strikethrough as follows:

(b) Such report shall include the name, address and social security number of the newly hired employee, the date services for remuneration were first performed by the employee, and the name and address of, and identifying number assigned under §6109 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 [26 U.S.C. §6109] to, the employer.

SYNOPSIS

On December 8, 2010, President Obama signed the Claims Resolution Act into law (Public Law 111-291).This federal law contains a provision applicable to the State Directory of New Hires which requires a change to §2208(c) of Title 13 and §1156A of Title 30.Specifically, employers are required to report the date an employee first performs services for pay as a data element when reporting to the State Directory of New Hires.Failure to comply with this federal law would disallow the Division of Child Support Enforcement's state plan causing it to lose 66% of its federal financial participation.
