The Maryland New Hire form plays a crucial role in the state’s efforts to streamline the reporting of new employees to the Maryland New Hire Registry. This form is designed to gather essential information about both employers and employees, ensuring compliance with state regulations. It requires employers to provide their Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) and, if applicable, their State Unemployment Insurance Number (SUIN). For those who have not yet received a SUIN, there is a simple instruction to indicate that the application is in process. The form also requests detailed employer contact information, including the address where income withholding orders should be sent, which is vital for effective communication. On the employee side, critical data such as the Social Security Number, date of hire, and salary information must be accurately recorded. Employers must also indicate if health care benefits are available and provide the employee's gender. Importantly, the completed forms must be submitted within 20 days of hiring or rehiring an employee to remain compliant with state laws. By following these guidelines, employers can contribute to a more organized and efficient employment verification process in Maryland.
