Colorado Employers may choose to use a payroll service provider or third party administrator (TPA) to conduct Unemployment Insurance (UI) activities on their behalf. Before a TPA can conduct any UI business on their behalf, the employer must assign the TPA to their employer account.
TPAs may start the association process by requesting access to the employer account. Once an association request is sent, the employer will receive an email notification and a correspondence inside their MyUI Employer+ account to review and approve (or deny) the association request.
Note: Employers can also assign a TPA to their employer account themselves. Review the How to Manage TPA Relationships page for more information on assigning a TPA to an employer account.
Reviewing & Approving TPA Association Requests
- Login to the employer MyUI Employer+ account.
- Scroll to the “Authorized TPA” section of the Employer Home page.
The Authorized TPA section will display the name of the TPA requesting authorization, agent ID, contact information, and the roles the TPA is requesting. - Click the “Authorize” hyperlink in the “Action Required” column.
- Review the information displayed in the “Authorize TPA Request” screen.
- Select the required attestation box.
- Select the decision to approve or deny the association request.
- Click “Submit”.
Note: TPAs may also send requests to modify existing roles and associations. Employers will use the same process to review and approve (or deny) modification requests.
Once the association request is approved the requesting TPA will be able to access the employer account according to the effective start date included with the request.
