Government Relations The American Payroll Association is your voice in Washington, DC, and in the state capitals. Our registered lobbyists in Washington, as well as members of the Government Affairs Task Force, represent the concerns of employers, service providers, and software developers before Congress, federal agencies, and state governments.
Our mission is to communicate the concerns of the payroll community to legislative and executive branches of government and to find ways for employers to meet their requirements under law and support government objectives, while minimizing administrative burden and cost for employers, government, and individual taxpayers.
The federal agencies with which APA has excellent relations include:
- Internal Revenue Service
- Social Security Administration
- Office of Child Support Enforcement
- Department of Labor
- U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
- Immigration and Customs Enforcement
- Federal Reserve Bank
- Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
- Federal Trade Commission
- Office of Foreign Assets Control
APA's Government Relations staff has received SSA's Public Service Award for its ongoing dedication to improving the quality of employer wage and tax reporting and the IRS's Excellence in Partnering Award for our collaboration on clarifying employers' responsibilities and helping IRS educate employers. At IRS, we are a founding member of the Information Reporting Program Advisory Committee, and one of our members is the Chair of the Internal Revenue Service Advisory Council.
