This appears to be presented as an efficiency to benefits measure but this editor, who is self employed without small children, also needs to dig deeper as to what this actually means and whom it applies. Please do your own digging and respond. If it is another layer of paperwork, we need to be clear about it.
Proposed Changes to Self-Employed Worker Reporting
The Division of Child Support is considering proposing changes to introduce mandatory reporting of freelance and self-employed workers to Washington state, and we are asking for your feedback on our proposal (also known as agency request legislation).
DCS’s proposal would require those doing business in Washington state who retain the services of or provide a platform for self-employed workers to report that arrangement to DCS.
This is a draft concept that still has several steps before it will be approved to be introduced as legislation for the 2025 Washington state legislative session.
