I hope you are holding up well under the trying times we find ourselves in. As you might imagine, our agency is seeing a record number of filings for Unemployment Insurance. We want to adjudicate and process these claims as quickly as possible for those that are entitled to the benefits. Please note that an employer’s tax rating will not be impacted due to COVID-19 related claims.

 

In that regard, we are really encouraging impacted employers to consider filing on behalf of their employees. Individuals can always file on their own, but the employer filed route can streamline it for all parties involved. I have attached a one pager explaining this process and would ask you to please consider sharing this with the trade organization(s) or businesses you represent.

 

This attached sheet and other relevant resources are located here and will be updated daily.
