2005 Idaho Code - 72-1602 — PURPOSE

                                  TITLE  72
                      WORKER'S COMPENSATION AND RELATED
                        LAWS -- INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
                                  CHAPTER 16
                         STATE DIRECTORY OF NEW HIRES
    72-1602.  PURPOSE. This chapter establishes an automated state directory
of new hires to be administered by the department of labor for the purpose of
securing for this state the maximum benefits of the act of congress, approved
August 22, 1996, known as the "Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity
Reconciliation Act of 1996." The state directory of new hires provides a means
for employers to assist in the state's efforts to prevent fraud in the
welfare, worker's compensation, and unemployment insurance programs, to locate
individuals to establish paternity, to locate absent parents who owe child
support, and to collect support from those parents by reporting information
concerning newly hired and rehired employees directly to a centralized state
database.
