Because you may have a proportionate charge for any benefit received by the claimant, even if the claimant filed in a different state, it is important you have an opportunity to provide information on the employee’s claim for unemployment benefits and other information on record that could affect the claimant’s eligibility and any charges attributed to you.

If you wish to protest the possible charges, it is very important that you respond to the UI-21A in a timely and thorough manner.
 

All employers may be held liable for benefits paid to an employee, whether those are paid in or out of state. When benefits are paid out of state, however, you will be provided with a statement of charges on a quarterly basis rather than on a weekly basis. 

Both taxable and reimbursable employers will be charged and billed while their appeal and/or protest is pending. 

3a. So what does this mean? Will I receive a credit if the decision is reversed? 

If you receive a decision in your favor, you will receive a credit that will be applied to the quarter in which the decision was issued, rather than the quarter in which the benefits were paid. This credit will be used in the calculation of future tax rates.

This means that the annual contribution rate will be based upon charges that are “on the books” as of June 30th of the preceding year, even if an appeal on those charges is pending. There are no separate appeal rights associated with the calculation of the annual contribution rate.

Reimbursing employers will receive a credit in the event of a reversal of charges.
