ACTION Final/Adopted
Preamble Texas Admin Code Rule
Section 453A of the Social Security Act, (42 U.S.C. §653A), as amended by Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), requires each state to establish and maintain a State Directory of New Hires to provide a means for employers to assist in the state's efforts both to prevent fraud in the welfare, workers' compensation, and unemployment insurance programs, and to locate and/or collect from absent parents who owe child support by reporting information concerning newly hired and rehired employees directly to a centralized state database. This subchapter establishes within the Office of the Attorney General (Title IV-D agency) a centralized employee registry called the State Directory of New Hires and establishes procedures for employers to report employee information to the State Directory of New Hires under Chapter 234, Subchapter B of the Texas Family Code.

This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.
