Phoenix Business Journal

The Internal Revenue Service and other government groups are planning a payroll seminar in Glendale designed to help employers reduce unauthorized employment and the use of fraudulent identity documents.

The Social Security Administration, Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the IRS, will host the payroll seminar at no cost on Aug. 12 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Foothills Branch Library, 19055 N. 57th Ave., in Glendale.

ICE will discuss the group’s Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers program and other activities within the Department of Homeland Security.

SSA will provide information on Business Services Online and other Internet services. BSO enables organizations and authorized individuals to conduct business with and submit confidential information to the Social Security Administration.

The IRS will address changes to the health benefit provisions of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, commonly referred to as COBRA. The new law affects former employees and their families, employers and others involved in providing temporary continuation of health coverage at group rates.
