On October 1, 2021, a new Florida Law took effect that now requires Florida Businesses to report basic information about newly hired (or re-hired) individuals to the Florida Child Support Program, regardless of the size of employer and also regardless of whether the individual is hired directly as an employee or as a (sub-)contractor. Reports must generally be filed within 20 days. (ยง409.2576 F.S.)
It is now more vital than ever that Businesses obtain Forms W-9 prior to issuing payments to not only meet their 1099(MISC or NEC) filing obligations but also to file these required “New Hire Reports.”
