BILLING CODE 4410–29–P 

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Employment and Training 

Administration 

Notice of the Federal Unemployment 

Tax Act (FUTA) Credit Reductions 

Applicable for 2023 

Sections 3302(c)(2)(A) and 3302(d)(3) 

of FUTA provide that employers in a 

state that has outstanding advances 

under Title XII of the Social Security 

Act on January 1 of two or more 

consecutive years are subject to a 

reduction in credits otherwise available 

against the FUTA tax for the calendar 

year in which the most recent such 

January 1 occurs, if advances remain on 

November 10 of that year. Further, 

section 3302(c)(2)(C) of FUTA provides 

for an additional credit reduction for a 

year if a state has outstanding advances 

on five or more consecutive January 1 

and has a balance on November 10 for 

such years. Section 3302(c)(2)(C) 

provides for waiver of this additional 

credit reduction and substitution of the 

credit reduction provided in section 

3302(c)(2)(B) if a state meets certain 

conditions. 

California, Connecticut, Illinois, New 

York, and the US Virgin Islands (USVI) 

had outstanding advances on January 1 

for two or more consecutive years and 

employers in these states were 

potentially subject to a FUTA credit 

reduction in 2023. However, 

Connecticut and Illinois repaid their 

outstanding advances before November 

10, 2023. As a result, employers in these 

two states are not subject to a FUTA 

credit reduction for 2023. California and 

New York did not repay their 

outstanding advances before November 

10, 2023. Therefore, employers in these 

states are subject to a FUTA credit 

reduction of 0.6 percent for 2023. 

USVI has experienced outstanding 

advances on January 1 for many years. 

Employers in USVI were potentially 

liable for the additional credit reduction 

under section 3302(c)(2)(C) of FUTA. 

The jurisdiction applied for the waiver 

of this additional credit reduction and 

the Employment and Training 

Administration determined that USVI 

met each of the criteria necessary to 

qualify for the waiver of the additional 

credit reduction. Therefore, employers 

in USVI will have no additional credit 

reduction applied for calendar year 

2023. However, because USVI has had 

an outstanding advance on each January 

1 from 2010 through 2023, and 

maintained an outstanding balance on 

November 10, 2023, employers in USVI 

are subject to a FUTA credit reduction 

of 3.9 percent in 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Consumer Expenditure Surveys are used 

to gather information on expenditures, 

income, and other related subjects. 

These data are used to periodically 

update the national Consumer Price 

Index. In addition, the data are used by 

a variety of researchers in academia, 

government agencies, and the private 

sector. The data are collected from a 

national probability sample of 

households designed to represent the 

total civilian non-institutional 

population. For additional substantive 

information about this ICR, see the 

related notice published in the Federal 

Register on September 18, 2023 (88 FRN 

63977). 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless the OMB 

approves it and displays a currently 

valid OMB Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information that does not 

display a valid OMB Control Number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
