Unemployment Proposal: Costly to finance high unemployment costs in other states now being considered by the U.S. Congress could cost Utah taxpayers an estimated Legislation $18.8 million in added Federal taxes without returning Utahns one cent in benefits. THIS WAS the report of the Utah Foundation, the private tax research organization, in its analysis of several Federal unemployment measures recently introduced m the U.S. Congress. According to the Foundation study, one measure introduced by Representative William M. Broadhead and 31 in the House would retroactively reimburse 37 of the states (including Puerto Rico) for $4.2 billion in excess unemployment benefit costs incurred during the 1974-7period. 6 UTAH WOULD be one of the 15 states (including the District of Columbia) that would get nothing under the proposed legislation. Utahs share of the Federal taxes required to finance such a progragi, however, would amount to $18 8 million. These retroactive designed to help payments are restore state unemployment compensation trust funds which were largely expended during the recent recession. Twenty-thre- e jurisdictions so depleted their reserves that they were forced to borrow from the Federal Government in order to meet current benefit payments its reserves in order to meet the large rumber of unemployment claims brought about by the recession. The Foundation report point outs, however, that the 1976 Utah Budget Session bolstered unemployment finances by substantially increasing taxes paid by Utah employers. Between 1975 and 1977, the taxes paid by Class I employers in Utah (those with the best UTAH ALSO reduced employment records) were boosted 124 percent. Similar increases were made for other employer classes. In addition to these retroactive payments to selected states, the proposed Federal legislation also would provide for a continuing program of cost equlization payments to states whose insured unemployment rate for any year exceeded six percent. The Foundation report observes that Utah probably would not become eligible for such payments because its insured unemployment rate has not equaled six percent since the depression year of 1938. IN OTHER words, Utah taxpayers under this proposal would be called upon unemployment benefit programs in other states without much likelihood that Utah would ever parto support ticipate in these outlays. Foundation analysts point out that once a state reaches the six percent threshold, the percentage of Federal guarantee and participation rises as the unemployment rate increases. As a result, there would be little incentive to control costs in a state once it is sure that it is eligible for Federal benefits. ANOTHER POINT noted in the Foundation analysis is that some states have an insured unemployment rate consistently above six percent. Such states are likely to become perpetual beneficiaries under the program and excessive costs would be encouraged. In addition to this House bill, other legislation has been introduced in the 1977 Congress to provide cost equiiization payments to states with high unemployment rates. Another measure introduced m the U.S. Senate by Senator and seven coJacob Javits sponsors would provide benefits that are even more liberal than those proposed in .) the House bill. County Employees, Commissioners Meet Davis County employees met with Earl King, Davis County Personnel Director, in two meetings last week to resolve problems and make for improvesuggestions ments in relationships between the Davis County the and Commission employees.
