 TPAs and Clients' Employer Accounts

#FFFFFF

Employers Requesting Access to Their My FAMLI+ Employer Account

If an employer that you represent as a TPA is requesting access to their account, they will need to get in touch with your TPA business so they can be added to their account. The Add User workflow for your client accounts is the same as the workflow for adding new users to your own account.

Linking Your TPA Account to an Existing Employer Account

If a client of your TPA organization registers their business on their own in My FAMLI+ Employer, then a link between your TPA account and the employer account must be created.

We recommend that you advise the employer to create the TPA relationship in the portal, a user from the employer with Administrator or Editor access can create this relationship. This process is outlined in this user guide.

You can also create the TPA relationship by uploading a bulk registration file (or via API) referencing that employer account. A bulk registration file can be used for a single employer account or multiple employer accounts. This process will create the proper TPA relationship between the employer account and your TPA account. When this process takes place, the employer will be notified that the relationship was created. If the employer has not yet registered in My FAMLI+ Employer, the employer will be notified that you registered on their behalf and they will be invited to create a My FAMLI+ Employer user account using the email address included in your bulk registration file. This allows employers to self-serve and gain access to their My FAMLI+ Employer accounts from that email address, without needing support from the TPA.

TPAs can request account access to an existing employer account. The request is sent to the employer administrator via email. When the administrator of an employer account adds a TPA through the account management page, a third party relationship will be established.

 Note: If the link is not established, your TPA organization will not be able to submit wages or make payments for that client. Instructions for bulk registration can be found in this guide.

From the My Profile page you can change your first and last name and phone number. 

Changing Your Email

Users are not allowed to change the email address in their user profile because it is the key piece of information the account record is tied to and is how your account is linked to Login.gov. If a user needs to change their email, they will need to add themselves as a new user with that new email address.

  • Contributor: This user type can submit wages using a file upload only. 

This new user will receive an email from My FAMLI+ Employer to complete their registration. They will need to complete the Login.gov registration process to gain access to the business account. Once the new user has completed this process, they will be granted access to the My FAMLI+ Employer account.

 Managing Third Party Administrator Relationships

Users with Administrator or Editor access can manage third party administrator (TPA) relationships from the My FAMLI+ Employer portal. Note: Only an Administrator or Editor from the employer can create the third party administrator relationship directly in My FAMLI+ Employer; the third party administrator cannot. A third party administrator can create the relationship with an employer that is already registered in My FAMLI+ Employer by uploading a bulk registration file. We highly recommend including a valid business email address for each employer you serve in your bulk registration file. This will ensure that each business you serve is notified that their third party administrator has registered on their behalf and allows businesses to self-serve and gain access to their My FAMLI+ Employer accounts from that email address, without needing support from the third party administrator. If you do not have an email address for your clients, please leave this field blank.

My FAMLI+ Employer TPA Relationships Account Details Page TPA Edits Confirmation

 Third Party Administrators: You cannot end your TPA relationship with a client until an administrator-level user from the client has been added to their account. This is required so that accounts will always have an administrator. Their updated information will be reflected on the screen.

 Note: Both the employer and the third party administrator will receive a notification of changes made in the portal. 

Third party administrators can request account access to an existing employer account. The request is sent to the employer administrator via email. When the administrator of an employer account adds a third party administrator through the account management page, a third party relationship will be established. 

Once a third party administrator relationship has ended, the third party administrator will no longer have access to the account. 

When editing a third party administrator relationship, if the user attempts to enter an End Date that is BEFORE the Start Date of the relationship, the portal will flag the error.

 Third Party Administrators: Transmitters

If you are a transmitter, your registration workflow will work in much the same way as a TPA. Transmitters will need to provide a limited amount of information to register with the My FAMLI+ Employer portal and will be able to upload wage report files via the API, or by uploading a CSV or XML file from the My FAMLI+ Employer dashboard. Clients of the transmitter will need to register themselves through the My FAMLI+ Employer portal where they will be issued a 10-digit system-generated account number that is specific to Colorado FAMLI. The employer will communicate their FAMLI account number to the transmitter. The Transmitter will include their client’s FAMLI account numbers (sometimes referred to as Account ID or FAMLI ID) when submitting wage reports to the FAMLI program. These submissions can be achieved through the API or by uploading a CSV or XML file from the transmitter’s dashboard. Each upload would most likely include multiple employers in each upload. Transmitters will NOT make payments on their client’s behalf. Payment responsibilities will be communicated to the employer through their own My FAMLI+ Employer account.
