• 69L-3.0046: Wage Statement: Employer’s and Claims-handling Entity’s Responsibility to Record and Report Wages

The proposed Rules would revise the following forms:

• Forms DFS-F2-DWC-1a (Wage Statement) and DFS-F2-DWC-30 (Authorization and Request for Unemployment Compensation Information) would be revised so that collection of a social security number is discontinued
