The filing queue is moving faster than expiring authorizations are being surfaced.
Timely filings protect employers, while broad holds delay payroll work that is otherwise ready.
Who you’d be doing this for
“The state notice landed on my desk before I knew our filing authorization had expired.”

Runs payroll and handles agency correspondence for a 42-person retail business.
What is at stake
Fourteen scheduled filings carried expired authorizations in five days. You must protect filing continuity without holding payroll runs that are ready to move.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- filing continuity vs authorization certainty
- simple routing vs agency-specific evidence
- automated detection vs reviewer judgment
