What effect would an owner’s claim for partial unemployment have on future tax rates?
The effect is the same as for any other benefits paid. Future tax rates will be adjusted based on benefits paid and taxable wage amounts in order to recover any amounts paid plus any adjustments for trust fund factors. For instances, if the person draws $2,000 in partial unemployment benefits, and the trust fund balance is 50%, the tax rates will be adjusted in future years to recover an additional $3,000 spread over the next 4 calendar years ($750 per year). This is in addition to any other trust fund factors that can affect tax rates
