What is my role as a common law employer? What is PPL’s role in the process?

The following are frequently asked questions by participant/employers in regards to PPL services.

Participant Directed Services allow you to use OLTL funds to hire your own DCWs. You are the common law employer and PPL is your Financial Management Service. Below is a brief summary of what is done by whom:

As an Employer, you will:

Recruit, hire, train, and fire all DCWs Submit signed timesheets to PPL noting hours worked for each DCW Establish wage rates and performance evaluation criteria for each DCW Establish schedules and tasks to be completed by each DCW

As your Agent, PPL will:

Perform a criminal background check on prospective DCWs Issue paychecks to DCWs bi-weekly with the receipt of properly submitted

timesheets Withhold appropriate taxes at the state and federal level for each DCW File monthly, quarterly, and annual forms and tax deposits with state and federal

agencies (See below to learn more about what taxes are withheld) Issue W-2 Statements to each DCW in January, and provide you with regular

payroll status reports through the year Arrange to purchase workers compensation insurance to cover your DCWs Provide reports to you on a monthly basis to assist you in managing your budget Answer all questions that you and your DCWs have about enrollment, timesheets,

and payments Help you and your DCWs with the enrollment process through our Customer

Service Center

What taxes are withheld for my each of my DCWs?

All DCWs must pay taxes. PPL will withhold Social Security, Medicare (FICA), and state and federal income taxes from each DCW’s paycheck. A summary of all DCW tax withholdings will appear on their paycheck stub. Furthermore, PPL will prepare and mail a W-2 Wage Statement to each DCW in January.

Do common law employers pay taxes too?

Yes. As a common law employer, you must match each DCW’s Social Security and Medicaid (FICA) contribution. In addition, as the employer, you must pay federal and state unemployment and workers compensation insurance premiums for each DCW. Acting as your agent, PPL will

New OLTL Employer Informational Packet Page 3 Version 1.1

complete all this paperwork, and send you regular reports on progress. These tax payments are made using your OLTL Program funds.

Will I be required to pay for services out of my own pocket?

No. All payroll related expenses are funded using OLTL Medicaid funds. These expenses include DCW wages and taxes, and employer payroll taxes, unemployment insurance, and workers compensation insurance.

What are the Employer conditions?

As the employer, you must present each DCW with the Employment Agreement before they can be paid as a DCW. This document needs to be signed and dated by the DCW and yourself before PPL can issue a paycheck for services rendered. The Employment Agreement will establish a hire date, wage rate and job title, as well as provide important information to the DCW about employment policies and rules.

Who is responsible for submitting timesheets to PPL?

As an employer, it is your responsibility to see that timesheets are submitted to PPL in a timely manner.

Do my DCWs have to complete paperwork too?

Yes. Each DCW needs to complete all required forms before starting work. Please notify PPL and your Support Coordinator when you hire a DCW. DCW forms can be found online at www.publicpartnerships.com or can be sent by mail upon request by contacting PPL customer service.

If you have any questions, please contact one of our Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-908-1750. Our customer service team is available Monday through Friday 8:00am until 8:00pm EST and Saturday 9:00am to 1:00pm.

New OLTL Employer Informational Packet Page 10 Version 1.1

What is it for? This form tells the IRS that you are going to be an employer and is used to obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS. This EIN is used to open state employer accounts and designate all tax deposit and filing responsibility to PPL.

Why isn’t my address listed on lines 4a and 4b? Lines 4a and 4b ask for the mailing address to be attached to this employer account. PPL does not intend to burden you with IRS paperwork. By establishing PPL’s address as the mailing address on your employer account, PPL ensures that you will not receive IRS paperwork relating to this program at your home.

Who are the people listed in the ‘Third Party Designee’ section? Those are PPL staff members who are experienced obtaining EINs on behalf of Individual Employers. These three individuals are the only people who can obtain an EIN on your behalf.

What lines do I complete? PPL has completed the SS-4 in a way that notifies the IRS that even though you will be the official employer of your service providers, you will be using PPL to file and deposit your employer taxes. If you have applied for an EIN in the past, complete lines 16a, 16b and 16c. You also must sign and date the bottom of the form.

If you have any questions, please contact one of our Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-908-1750.

What is it for? This form tells the IRS that you give PPL permission to do some work for you. By signing this form, you authorize PPL to withhold taxes from your employees’ paychecks and deposit those taxes with the IRS. With this form, you delegate the employer tax responsibility to PPL.

If I appoint you as my agent with the IRS Form 2678, what will you be able to do? The IRS Form 2678 only allows us to withhold taxes from your employee’s paychecks and deposit those taxes to the IRS. This form is only recognized by the IRS; other tax agencies do not recognize this form. The 2678 does not authorize us to perform any other tax responsibilities.

What liability does PPL take on when I sign the 2678? The IRS Form 2678 subjects PPL to all provisions of law, including penalties that the employer incurs. When you authorize PPL as your agent with Form 2678, PPL is responsible by law for correctly representing you. PPL incurs any penalties of misfiling or incorrectly depositing your employer taxes.

Does the IRS Form 2678 authorize you to file my personal income taxes? No. PPL only deposits withholding taxes for your employees. PPL cannot handle any of your personal income tax matters.

What sections do I complete? Most of this form is completed for you.

All you need to do is review, sign, and date the form, and return it to PPL.

What is it for? This form allows PPL to discuss your employer withholding account with the IRS. It does not allow these representatives to sign any documents.

Will PPL be able to discuss my personal tax account with the IRS? No. PPL, your Fiscal Management Service (FMS) will only be able to discuss the employer tax forms listed in Section 3b. PPL will never be able to obtain any personal income tax information.

I make all decisions about my life. If I sign this, what decisions can PPL make for me? This form only lets PPL talk and write to the IRS. PPL cannot make decisions about your personal life.
