MAJOR PROGRAM CHANGES Back to Top
  • Unemployment Insurance Program Administration Funding Shortfall - The Budget includes multiple adjustments to address a historic funding shortfall in the Unemployment Insurance program. The Budget proposes (1) an increase of $64 million in the Employment Development Department Contingent Fund, (2) a decrease of $102.3 million in the Unemployment Administration Fund, (3) an increase of withholding penalties deposited in the Contingent Fund from 10 percent to 15 percent effective July 1, 2014, and (4) a one-year suspension of the transfer of personal income tax withholdings to the General Fund. These funding changes, along with programmatic efficiencies, will restore 2014-15 service levels to 2012-13 levels, and allow the EDD to retain staff and continue overtime to process new and continued claims.
