Steps After Your On-Line Enrollment is Fully Completed

  • Sign the 426
  • Sign the 846
  • Have your consumer sign the 426A
  • Bring your valid driver's license or another government-issued photo ID to your appointment.
  • Bring your Social Security Card to your appointment (Note: your name on both ID's must match)

 Background Check:

  • The online documents include a Live Scan form that must be completed for fingerprinting. Make an appointment to be fingerprinted and take the form with you.

After completion of all enrollment processes and documents, a cleared background, and a completed SOC 426A that your consumer completes, we can then start the payroll process to issue timesheets.
