    73B-10.037Public Use Forms

    PURPOSE AND EFFECT: To provide electronic options for filing documents by employers for ease of filing; to help provide for additional identity protection measures; and to ensure forms are compliant with statutory requirements and up to date.

    SUMMARY: The rules are being amended to add language advising employers about the various electronic options available for filing, correcting and updating information; add language stating that only partial social security numbers will be mailed on a RT statement of benefits form for identity protection; and update the forms to comply with current statutory requirements.

    SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

    The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the Agency.

    The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: The Agency has previously performed a review of the statutory requirements and determined that rules 73B.10.023, .024, .025, .026, and .037, F.A.C., have no adverse impact or regulatory costs which exceed any of the criteria established in Section 120.541(2), F.S. These rules are therefore expected to be able to take effect without the need of being ratified by the Legislature.

    Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
