l  New Job Details for SSN #XXX-XX-XXXX.

l  Last name.

l  First Initial.

l  Date Hired.

l  Employer Name.

l  MAXIS Name.

l  New Hire Name.

Processing New Hire Messages

The New Hire interface is run once a month. New Hire messages display on the fourth day of the month, regardless of holidays and weekends.

l  Upon receipt of a New Hire message, check the case file information to determine whether the client has reported this employment and take appropriate case action.

l  Obtain a signed release of information form from the client in order to contact the employer for further information.

l  Determine if the New Hire record is accurate. It is not necessary to report the discrepancy if the New Hire record is not accurate.

Note:  Notify the client if an employer has been inaccurately reporting employment under the client's SSN so that the client can take action to correct the information.

l  Delete New Hire messages when the appropriate action has taken place.

l  Attempt to resolve the discrepancy within 45 days of receipt of the information.
