RE: Unemployment Insurance Rates for 2008-09

Unemployment Insurance rates and reserve balances are reviewed periodically by 
Accounting and Financial Services. Rate changes for the ensuing year, when 
appropriate, are determined by the Campus Accounting Officer in consultation 
with the Campus Budget Director.

Our review at December 31, 2007, indicates Unemployment Insurance reserves for 
Federal Funds and Other Funds exceed target levels.  Rates for Other Fund 
sources will remain at zero for 2008-09 to further reduce the reserve balances.  
Rates for Federal Funds will be reduced by .20% to .10% to reflect the increase 
in reserves.

The reserve for General Funds and Hospital Funds are below the target range at 
December 31, 2007.  Effective July 1, 2008, the General Fund rate will be 
increased to .20% of covered wages in order to cover the anticipated claim rate 
of 10.6% and increase the reserve to the target level. The Hospital Funds rate 
will be increased to .20% of covered wages in order to cover the anticipated 
claim rate of 14.0% and increase the reserve to the target level.

Current and revised rates for 2007-08 and 2008-09 are as follows:

General Funds 0% in 2007-08 and .20% in 2008-09

Federal Funds .30% in 2007-08 and .10% in 2008-09

UCDMC Funds 0% in 2007-08 and .20% in 2008-09

Other Funds 0% in 2007-08 and in 2008-09

For budget planning purposes, we suggest that you continue to use the standard 
planning rates (reference systemwide Contract and Grant Memo at 
http://www.ucop.edu/raohome/cgmemos/sup99-01.htm).

Please contact Susan Moore, Associate Accounting Officer, 530-757-8518 or by 
email at smmoore@ucdavis.edu if you have any questions.
