Under Act No. 5 of December 30, 1996, employers in Puerto Rico must notify the name of all new hires within 20 days of recruitment to the State New Hire Registry division of the the Administration for Child Support Enforcement (“ASUME” in Spanish) .The new hire report must contain the name, address and social security of each employee as well as the name, address and federal Employer Identification Number of the Employer.
When the employer terminates the employment of a worker and before paying the final liquidation, it must request a certificate of debt from ASUME. Any amount owed in child support must be retained from the worker’s liquidation and sent to ASUME.
