Federal-State Unemployment Compensation Program; State's Experience Rating Formula

The Unemployment Insurance Service within the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) interprets Federal law requirements pertaining to unemployment compensation (UC) as part of its role in the administration of the Federal-State UC program. The purpose of this notice is to obtain comments on the Department of Labor's (Department) proposal to issue more definitive direction on the Federal law requirements pertaining to the minimum acceptable interval between State UC tax rates. Although the Department's position on the need for small intervals is well established, a need for more definitive direction has been identified as a result of recent State legislative initiatives creating significant intervals between rates. This ``interval requirement'' will assure that States operate experience rating systems consistent with Federal law requirements.
