What We'll Discuss in This Session

Evolving federal regulations, surging state-level onboarding requirements, and shifting tax credit landscapes are helping redefine organizational risk for 2026 and 2027. Relying on an outdated regulatory playbook can leave your business more vulnerable to increased penalties, reverification gaps, and potential tax volatility.

Join our panel of Equifax authorities as we move beyond high-level headlines to deliver more actionable operational strategies. Learn more on how to adapt your onboarding, verification, tax credit, and unemployment management workflows to help you stay more audit-ready and proactive.

Join the webinar to discover more about:

  • Post-Election Federal & State Regulatory Forecast: Get an insider’s look at post-election lame-duck legislative priorities—budget reconciliation, tax extenders, and funding—alongside shifting state HR trends.
  • Escalating ACA Penalties & Affordability Rules: Navigate rising 2026/2027 affordability thresholds and steep non-compliance rate spikes, while implementing pre-filing audits to help protect your bottom line.
  • Navigating State-Specific Overlays on Federal I-9 Workflows: Adapt onboarding workflows for evolving state rules, like Colorado’s identity verification, Massachusetts’ ICE notice mandate, and new E-Verify requirements for federal grantees.
  • WOTC Hiatus Strategy & Unlocking Location-Based Tax Savings: Learn how to help protect retroactive claims during the program lapse with continuous screening, and leverage Location-Based Incentives (LBI) for additional tax relief.
  • Unemployment Reform, Cost Control & Fraud Prevention: Prepare for major state shifts like the New Jersey S 2357 repeal and California’s monthly wage reporting rules, while better defending against federal digital identity fraud.
