| |||||||
1 | period prior to calendar year 2012 shall be as determined by | ||||||
2 | the provisions of this Act as amended and in effect on November | ||||||

5 | benefit period of calendar year 2012 shall be $856.55 and for | ||||||
6 | each calendar year thereafter, the statewide average weekly | ||||||
7 | wage shall be the statewide average weekly wage, as determined | ||||||

10 | the percentage change in the statewide average weekly wage, as | ||||||

16 | the Workers' Compensation Act, the statewide average weekly | ||||||
17 | wage will be computed using June 1 and December 1 | ||||||
18 | determination dates of each calendar year and such | ||||||
19 | determination shall not be subject to the limitation of the | ||||||

6 | retroactive to January 1, 2023. | ||||||
7 | The state experience factor shall be adjusted in accordance | ||||||
8 | with the following provisions: | ||||||
9 | A. For calendar years prior to 1988, the state experience | ||||||
10 | factor shall be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of | ||||||
11 | this Act as amended and in effect on November 18, 2011. | ||||||
12 | B. (Blank). | ||||||
13 | C. For calendar year 1988 and each calendar year | ||||||

15 | determined. | ||||||
16 | 1. For every $50,000,000 (or fraction thereof) by | ||||||
17 | which the adjusted trust fund balance falls below the | ||||||
18 | target balance set forth in this subsection, the state | ||||||
19 | experience factor for the succeeding year shall be | ||||||
20 | increased one percent absolute. | ||||||
21 | For every $50,000,000 (or fraction thereof) by which | ||||||
22 | the adjusted trust fund balance exceeds the target balance | ||||||
23 | set forth in this subsection, the state experience factor | ||||||
24 | for the succeeding year shall be decreased by one percent | ||||||
25 | absolute. | ||||||
26 | The target balance in each calendar year prior to 2003 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | is $750,000,000. The target balance in calendar year 2003 | ||||||
2 | is $920,000,000. The target balance in calendar year 2004 | ||||||

6 | year thereafter is $1,750,000,000. | ||||||
7 | 2. For the purposes of this subsection: | ||||||
8 | "Net trust fund balance" is the amount standing to the | ||||||
9 | credit of this State's account in the unemployment trust | ||||||
10 | fund as of June 30 of the calendar year immediately | ||||||
11 | preceding the year for which a state experience factor is | ||||||
12 | being determined. | ||||||
13 | "Adjusted trust fund balance" is the net trust fund | ||||||
14 | balance minus the sum of the benefit reserves for fund | ||||||
15 | building for July 1, 1987 through June 30 of the year prior | ||||||
16 | to the year for which the state experience factor is being | ||||||
17 | determined. The adjusted trust fund balance shall not be | ||||||
18 | less than zero. If the preceding calculation results in a | ||||||
19 | number which is less than zero, the amount by which it is | ||||||
20 | less than zero shall reduce the sum of the benefit | ||||||
21 | reserves for fund building for subsequent years. | ||||||
22 | For the purpose of determining the state experience | ||||||
23 | factor for 1989 and for each calendar year thereafter, the | ||||||
24 | following "benefit reserves for fund building" shall apply | ||||||
25 | for each state experience factor calculation in which that | ||||||
26 | 12 month period is applicable: |

7 | sum of: | ||||||
8 | i. 8/104ths of the total benefits paid from | ||||||
9 | July 1, 1988 through December 31, 1988, plus | ||||||
10 | ii. 4/108ths of the total benefits paid from | ||||||
11 | January 1, 1989 through June 30, 1989. | ||||||

22 | thereafter, from the adjusted state experience factor for | ||||||
23 | the calendar year preceding the calendar year for which | ||||||
24 | the adjusted state experience factor is being determined; | ||||||

26 | 1998. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | D-1. The adjusted state experience factor for each of | ||||||
2 | calendar years 2013 through 2015 shall be increased by 5% | ||||||

25 | in 2024 shall be increased by 3% absolute above the adjusted | ||||||
26 | state experience factor as calculated without regard to this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subsection or subsection D-3. The increase in the state | ||||||

3 | counted for purposes of applying paragraph 3 or 4 of | ||||||
4 | subsection D to the calculation of the adjusted state | ||||||
5 | experience factor for the following calendar year. This | ||||||
6 | subsection shall cease to be operative beginning January 1 of | ||||||

7 | The state experience factor shall be adjusted in accordance | ||||||
8 | with the following provisions: | ||||||
9 | A. For calendar years prior to 1988, the state experience | ||||||

19 | experience factor for the succeeding year shall be | ||||||
20 | increased one percent absolute. | ||||||
21 | For every $50,000,000 (or fraction thereof) by which | ||||||
22 | the adjusted trust fund balance exceeds the target balance | ||||||

24 | for the succeeding year shall be decreased by one percent | ||||||
25 | absolute. | ||||||
26 | The target balance in each calendar year prior to 2003 |

16 | less than zero. If the preceding calculation results in a | ||||||
17 | number which is less than zero, the amount by which it is | ||||||
18 | less than zero shall reduce the sum of the benefit | ||||||
19 | reserves for fund building for subsequent years. | ||||||

4 | to pay all outstanding advances made to the State's account in | ||||||
5 | the Unemployment Trust Fund pursuant to Title XII of the | ||||||
6 | federal Social Security Act, then this Part (I) is inoperative | ||||||
7 | retroactive to January 1, 2023. | ||||||
8 | A. Notwithstanding any other provision in Section 2101 to | ||||||
9 | the contrary, no later than June 30, 2007, an amount equal to | ||||||
10 | at least $1,400,136 but not to exceed $7,000,136 shall be | ||||||
11 | transferred from the special administrative account to this | ||||||
12 | State's account in the Unemployment Trust Fund. No later than | ||||||
13 | June 30, 2008, and June 30 of each of the three immediately | ||||||
14 | succeeding calendar years, there shall be transferred from the | ||||||
15 | special administrative account to this State's account in the | ||||||
16 | Unemployment Trust Fund an amount at least equal to the lesser | ||||||
17 | of $1,400,000 or the unpaid principal. For purposes of this | ||||||
18 | Section, the unpaid principal is the difference between | ||||||
19 | $7,000,136 and the sum of amounts, excluding interest, | ||||||
20 | previously transferred pursuant to this Section. In addition | ||||||
21 | to the amounts otherwise specified in this Section, each | ||||||
22 | transfer shall include a payment of any interest accrued | ||||||
23 | pursuant to this Section through the end of the immediately | ||||||
24 | preceding calendar quarter for which the federal Department of | ||||||
25 | the Treasury has published the yield for state accounts in the | ||||||
26 | Unemployment Trust Fund. Interest pursuant to this Section |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall accrue daily beginning on January 1, 2007, and be | ||||||
2 | calculated on the basis of the unpaid principal as of the | ||||||
3 | beginning of the day. The rate at which the interest shall | ||||||
4 | accrue for each calendar day within a calendar quarter shall | ||||||
5 | equal the quotient obtained by dividing the yield for that | ||||||
6 | quarter for state accounts in the Unemployment Trust Fund as | ||||||
7 | published by the federal Department of the Treasury by the | ||||||
8 | total number of calendar days within that quarter. Interest | ||||||
9 | accrued but not yet due at the time the unpaid principal is | ||||||
10 | paid in full shall be transferred within 30 days after the | ||||||
11 | federal Department of the Treasury has published the yield for | ||||||
12 | state accounts in the Unemployment Trust Fund for all quarters | ||||||
13 | for which interest has accrued pursuant to this Section but | ||||||
14 | not yet been paid. A transfer required pursuant to this | ||||||
15 | Section in a fiscal year of this State shall occur before any | ||||||
16 | transfer made with respect to that same fiscal year from the | ||||||
17 | special administrative account to the Title III Social | ||||||
18 | Security and Employment Fund. | ||||||
19 | B. By If and only if an appropriation is made in calendar | ||||||
20 | year 2023 to this State's account in the Unemployment Trust | ||||||
21 | Fund, as a loan solely for purposes of paying unemployment | ||||||
22 | insurance benefits under this Act and without the accrual of | ||||||
23 | interest, from a fund of the State treasury, the Director | ||||||
24 | shall take all necessary action to transfer 10% of the total | ||||||
25 | amount of the appropriation from this State's account in the | ||||||
26 | Unemployment Trust Fund to the State's Budget Stabilization |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Fund prior to July 1 of each year or as soon thereafter as | ||||||
2 | practical. Transfers shall begin in calendar year 2024 and | ||||||
3 | continue on an annual basis until the total amount of such | ||||||
4 | transfers equals the total amount of the appropriation. In any | ||||||
5 | calendar year in which the balance of this State's account in | ||||||
6 | the Unemployment Trust Fund, less all outstanding advances to | ||||||
7 | that account, pursuant to Title XII of the federal Social | ||||||
8 | Security Act, is below $1,200,000,000 as of June 1, any | ||||||
9 | transfer provided for in this subsection shall not be made | ||||||
10 | that calendar year. | ||||||
11 | (II) (Blank). This Part (II) becomes operative if and only | ||||||
12 | if funds from the State treasury are not appropriated on or | ||||||
13 | before January 31, 2023 that are dedicated to pay all | ||||||
14 | outstanding advances made to the State's account in the | ||||||
15 | Unemployment Trust Fund pursuant to Title XII of the federal | ||||||
16 | Social Security Act. If this Part (II) becomes operative, it | ||||||
17 | is operative retroactive to January 1, 2023. Notwithstanding | ||||||
18 | any other provision in Section 2101 to the contrary, no later | ||||||
19 | than June 30, 2007, an amount equal to at least $1,400,136 but | ||||||
20 | not to exceed $7,000,136 shall be transferred from the special | ||||||
21 | administrative account to this State's account in the | ||||||
22 | Unemployment Trust Fund. No later than June 30, 2008, and June | ||||||
23 | 30 of each of the three immediately succeeding calendar years, | ||||||
24 | there shall be transferred from the special administrative | ||||||
25 | account to this State's account in the Unemployment Trust Fund | ||||||
26 | an amount at least equal to the lesser of $1,400,000 or the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | unpaid principal. For purposes of this Section, the unpaid | ||||||
2 | principal is the difference between $7,000,136 and the sum of | ||||||
3 | amounts, excluding interest, previously transferred pursuant | ||||||
4 | to this Section. In addition to the amounts otherwise | ||||||
5 | specified in this Section, each transfer shall include a | ||||||
6 | payment of any interest accrued pursuant to this Section | ||||||
7 | through the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter | ||||||
8 | for which the federal Department of the Treasury has published | ||||||
9 | the yield for state accounts in the Unemployment Trust Fund. | ||||||
10 | Interest pursuant to this Section shall accrue daily beginning | ||||||
11 | on January 1, 2007, and be calculated on the basis of the | ||||||
12 | unpaid principal as of the beginning of the day. The rate at | ||||||
13 | which the interest shall accrue for each calendar day within a | ||||||
14 | calendar quarter shall equal the quotient obtained by dividing | ||||||
15 | the yield for that quarter for state accounts in the | ||||||
16 | Unemployment Trust Fund as published by the federal Department | ||||||
17 | of the Treasury by the total number of calendar days within | ||||||
18 | that quarter. Interest accrued but not yet due at the time the | ||||||
19 | unpaid principal is paid in full shall be transferred within | ||||||
20 | 30 days after the federal Department of the Treasury has | ||||||
21 | published the yield for state accounts in the Unemployment | ||||||
22 | Trust Fund for all quarters for which interest has accrued | ||||||
23 | pursuant to this Section but not yet been paid. A transfer | ||||||
24 | required pursuant to this Section in a fiscal year of this | ||||||
25 | State shall occur before any transfer made with respect to | ||||||
26 | that same fiscal year from the special administrative account |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to the Title III Social Security and Employment Fund. | ||||||
