If you do not know the employer’s FEIN or SEIN, search by the Company Name.

2. Note that the search returns both self-service and staff-assisted employer accounts. These designations refer only to who initially created the account (the employer or job center staff). You only need to create an account for the employer if no accounts of either type already exist. Job center staff can access all necessary staff functions using a self-service account. The only exception to this rule is that they may not be able to edit employer account information depending on their security permissions. Employers can access all necessary employer-approved functions using a staff-assisted account, as long as they have been given the account username and password.
