NEW HIRE LETTER - NEBRASKA

You may have received a letter from the State Directory of New Hires reminding you that you are required to report newly hired and re-hired employees.

Remember on October 21, 2011, President Obama signed the Trade Adjustment Assistance Extension Act of 2011. The law amends the term “newly hired employee” to mean an employee who has not previously been employed by the employer; or was previously employed by the employer but has been separated from such prior employment for at least 60 consecutive days. Nebraska’s new hire statute §48-2302 was amended to add this requirement which became operative on October 1, 2012.

The state uses the information to find people whom aren't paying child support; therefore the state knows where to garnish paychecks.
