Unemployment Agency - General Rules
(Energy, Labor & Economic Growth Unemployment Insurance Agency)

R 421.112 It is proposed that the reasonable cash value of board, rent, housing, lodging, meals or similar advantage not be deemed wages and therefore not be taxable to the employer when furnished solely for the convenience of the employer. R 421.162 It is proposed to remove language that refers to the manner in which an employer is charged for multi-employer credit weeks and to add language that an employer is charged a pro-rate share of benefits based on the wages paid by that employer as compared with the wages paid by all base period employers. R 421.205 It is proposed to modify the method of notifying an employer of when a former employee files for unemployment benefits. Once the wage record system has been implemented, the Agency will be able to determine weekly benefit amounts based on wages reported in the wage database rather than relying on the employer to respond to a wage request. R 421.208 It is proposed to allow for "good cause" for late registration for work that is similar to the "good cause" that already exists for late filing for a unemployment insurance claim. R 421.210 As the Unemployment Agency changes to permit different methods of filing a claim for unemployment benefits, it is proposed to delete language in the Rule that refers to the requirement that an unemployment insurance claim be filed in person. R 421.216 It is proposed to waive the seeking work requirement if the statewide total unemployment rate is 7.5% or greater and if the claimant is not in high-demand occupation. New R 421.269 It is proposed that all requests for reconsideration or redetermination of a determination be made in writing or by any other method approved by the Agency.
