Expands Eligibility To Historically Ineligible Persons:


  • Self-employed
  • Independent contractors (gig workers)
  • Those with limited work history

THINGS TO KNOW


  • Generally, these claims will not affect your SUI tax rates
  • Some states require employers to make pre-emptive claims on behalf of the employee
  • Partial pay, or taking PTO can make your employee ineligible
  • The base period for claims and calculations is “4 out of the last 5 quarters”
  • Claims will roll back to you, even if a successor employer made the separation

BEST PRACTICES


  • Identify affected employees: Note last day worked in particular
  • Proactively submit claims: Even partial claims
  • In most cases, fully fund employee payroll by Sunday: Claim calculations default to Monday
  • Mail is disrupted – make use of state e-response or SIDES options
