How to Assign a Third Party Administrator (TPA) to your Employer Account in MyUI Employer+

Colorado Employers using a TPA to conduct any UI activities on their behalf will be required to assign the TPA to their online employer account. Note that your TPA cannot complete the association process for you, only employers can assign a TPA to an employer account.

You will need the TPA ID, provided by the TPA, for any TPA you are trying to assign to your employer account, and designate the roles and permissions your TPA will need to manage your account on your behalf. Only one TPA can be assigned to a specific role on your account at a time.

Login to MyUI Employer+ to assign a TPA to your employer account.
