The State Workforce Authority (SWA) agency will ask for the following information for your business.
And they will want to receive it from your business email address.
We will request most of this information from you through your Attorney after you complete the SWA Questionnaire Form they sent you.
Here’s is what we have observed over the last 18 years from SWA agency staff in response to Account Registrations:
1. SWA Agency staff send the following request:
