The Electronic Payment System (EPS) is an Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) program, utilizing the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network, to initiate payments by either ACH debit or ACH credit methods, for Nevada Unemployment Insurance (UI) tax.
Are electronic payments mandatory? Yes, payments are required to be made electronically, if the quarterly tax due is $10,000 or more. This also applies to authorized agents and submitters who file for multiple employers. If the total aggregate amount of contributions is $10,000 or more, Nevada law requires the payment to be made electronically. You have two options for electronic payment, ACH debit or ACH credit. ACH Debit: Payment by ACH debit can be made online through a secure Internet application. There is no cost to the employer. A special feature of the ACH debit method is the ability to "warehouse" a payment, which means an employer (or an authorized agent) can enter the payment information when convenient and then set a "settlement" date up to 30 days in the future. Up until the settlement date (before 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time), inquiries can be made, as well as changes, and even cancellations. The funds will not be transferred until the designated date. Timing of an ACH debit transaction coincides with the division's regular business hours (unless you are "warehousing" the payment) of Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time. Any transaction made outside of those business hours or on a state holiday or weekend, will not be processed until the next regular business day. How do I sign up to pay by ACH debit? Return the following:
You may fax the completed form and bank account information to (775) 684-6351 or mail it to: Department of Employment, Training &
Rehabilitation Upon receipt of the authorization request and bank account information, the division will provide you with a temporary Personal Identification Number (PIN) to allow access to the EPS to establish your unique confidential PIN. Note: If you are an authorized agent, you must first have on file with the division a Power of Attorney (form NUCS-4556). What if I forget my PIN or need to reset it? Contact the EPS Customer Service Desk at (775) 684-6345 to resolve issues with your PIN. How do I make changes associated with ACH debit transactions such as the threshold amount, bank account number, or contact information? Please complete a new ACH Debit Authorization Request (form NUCS-4050EPS) and mark the appropriate check box for "change". You may fax the completed form to (775) 684-6351 or mail it to: Department of Employment, Training & Rehabilitation ACH Credit: ACH credit requires that you make arrangements with your financial institution to determine what services they offer and the associated cost. The employer is responsible for all costs charged by the financial institution. An ACH Credit Program Guide is available for download, which includes the ACH Credit Specifications and an ACH Credit Agreement and Application. How do I sign up to pay by ACH Credit? Return the completed ACH Credit Agreement and Application Department of Employment, Training & Rehabilitation Upon receipt of the ACH credit agreement, the division will provide you with the State's bank account and routing numbers needed by your bank to initiate ACH credit transactions.
