What is new hire reporting in Virginia?

New hire reporting in Virginia is the process by which employers submit information about newly hired or rehired employees to the Virginia New Hire Reporting Center.

The purpose of new hire reporting includes:

• Supporting child support enforcement by helping the state locate noncustodial parents.

• Preventing fraud in government programs such as unemployment insurance.

• Maintaining accurate employment records for state compliance.

All Virginia employers are required to report new hires, ensuring that the state can efficiently administer child support programs and monitor employment-related benefits.
