Ref: Assembly Bill 103

This bill prohibits the EDD from charging unemployment compensation benefits paid to employees for the duration of all federal unemployment benefit programs created to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic. In other words, your business SUI rate won’t go up due to unemployment claims during the time that the federal government had federal benefit programs in place.

IMPORTANT: In order to get this rate guarantee the business must respond timely and adequately to the EDD’s requests for information relating to unemployment claims.

It’s important to respond to any correspondence from EDD quickly and accurately.
