Funding Source:

[ ] General [ ] Education [ ] Highway [ X ] Other - Contingent Fund pursuant to RSA 282-A:140

METHODOLOGY:

This bill increases the minimum employer's contribution rate under RSA 282-A:82, IV, from not less than .10 percent to not less than .20 percent. Employer rates are never reduced to zero and this figure represents the minimum employer tax rate that must be paid by an employer. The New Hampshire Employment Security estimates this change would increase state restricted revenue to the Contingent Fund established under RSA 282-A:140 by approximately $2,579,339 annually. This estimate is based on the number of registered employers in the State paying the statutory minimum rate as of the fourth quarter of 2016. This bill does not impact the Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund or counties and local governments.
