Reporting requirements - Connecticut

Summary of differences between federal and state regulations

Individual states promulgate laws to comply with the federal law — The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996.  This act is codified at 42 USC 653-653A. Employers need to only comply with state laws.

Connecticut General Statute §31-254(b) requires all employers to report a newly hired employee within 20 days after the date the employer hires the employee. Employers reporting magnetically or electronically must report new employees, if any, at least twice per month by transmissions not less than 12 or more than 16 days apart.
