2021 Montana Code Annotated|Title 39. Labor|Chapter 51. Unemployment Insurance|Part 12. Employer Classification and Experience Rating|39-51-1217. Schedule of rates assigned based on trust fund reserve

  39-51-1217. Schedule of rates assigned based on trust fund reserve. (1) The rate schedule for each calendar year is assigned based upon the ratio of the trust fund balance as of October 31 prior to the rate year to total wages in covered employment for the 12-month period ending June 30 prior to the computation date.   (2) The ratio at the top of each tax schedule in the tax table shown in 39-51-1218 represents the minimum fund level required for a specific tax schedule to be in effect.   (3) Employer rates are assigned in accord with the rates provided in each schedule for eligible and deficit employers, based upon their experience as defined in this section.   (4) For the calendar year 1990 and each year thereafter, any employer classified as a new employer must be assigned a rate equal to the average rate of contributions paid by employers in the same major industrial classification for the calendar year preceding the computation date, plus an adjustment for the difference between the average tax rate assigned for the previous calendar year and the average rate in effect for the current calendar year. At no time may a new employer be assigned a rate lower than 1%. The computation of the average rate of contributions in a major industrial classification must exclude those employer accounts that are not eligible for the computation of an experience rating solely by reason of insufficient experience. The department shall develop the major industrial classifications for the state and shall annually determine the contribution rate for each classification.   History: En.

2021 Montana Code Annotated|Title 39. Labor|Chapter 51. Unemployment Insurance|Part 13. Unpaid Contributions|39-51-1301. Penalty and interest on past-due reports and payments

  39-51-1301. Penalty and interest on past-due reports and payments. (1) Failure to file reports and make payments in a timely manner, as required under 39-51-404, 39-51-603, 39-51-1103, and 39-51-1125, may subject an employer to penalty and interest, as provided in subsection (2).   (2) The department may assess penalties and interest under this section as follows:   (a) a penalty of $25 for the failure to file reports or make payments in a timely manner;   (b) in addition to the late penalty provided in subsection (2)(a), a penalty of $50 if the department issues a subpoena or makes a summary or jeopardy assessment, as provided in 39-51-1302, as the result of an employer's refusal or failure to provide requested information;   (c) in addition to the penalties in subsections (2)(a) and (2)(b), a penalty of $100 for failure to comply with a subpoena; and   (d) interest at the rate of 1.5% a month on any amounts owed to the department under this subsection (2) that are not paid in a timely manner.

Money in the account not appropriated for these purposes must be transferred by the department to the unemployment insurance trust fund at the end of each fiscal year.   (5) All money accruing to the unemployment insurance trust fund from interest and penalties collected on past-due unemployment insurance taxes must be used solely for the payment of unemployment insurance benefits and may not be used for any other purpose.

  39-51-1302. Summary or jeopardy assessment of unpaid taxes. (1) If an employer fails to file a report or return as required under this chapter or the rules adopted by the department within the time specified or if the employer's records are inaccurate or are incomplete when an employer has filed a quarterly wage report for the period in question, the department may make a summary or jeopardy assessment of the amount due by estimating the report and determining the amount of taxes due and owing to the fund upon the basis of any information that the department may be able to obtain. The tax must be collected the same as other reports and taxes due, with penalty and interest as provided in this chapter.   (2) Upon making a summary or jeopardy assessment, the department shall immediately notify the employer in writing by personal service or by certified mail sent to the last-known mailing address or place of business operated by the employer. The assessment is final unless:   (a) the employer protests the assessment in writing within 15 days after service of the notice;   (b) the employer files within 15 days after service of the notice a correct, signed, and sworn report and statement as provided for by this chapter and the rules of the department; or   (c) the department has good cause to amend the summary or jeopardy assessment, in which case the department shall notify the employer in the manner provided for in this subsection (2).   (3) Upon written protest being filed by an employer, the department may reconsider the summary or jeopardy assessment, and if the department redetermines the assessment, it shall notify the employer of its redetermination and the reasons for the redetermination. A summary or jeopardy assessment or redetermination by the department under this subsection is final unless the employer submits a written appeal within 10 days in the same manner as provided in 39-51-1109.

  39-51-1303. Collection of unpaid taxes. (1) The department may enter into payment agreements with an employer to resolve unpaid taxes, penalty, and interest. Penalty or interest, or both penalty and interest, may be abated if an acceptable payment agreement is entered into and followed. Failure to meet the terms of the payment agreement voids the penalty and interest abatement, and the penalty and interest must be recomputed from the due date of the unpaid tax.   (2) If, after due notice, any employer, liable corporate officer, liable member or manager of a limited liability company referred to in 39-51-1105, or partner in a limited liability partnership defaults in any payment of taxes, penalties, or interest on the taxes and penalties, the department may initiate a civil action in the name of the state to collect the amount due, and the employer, liable corporate officer, liable member or manager of a limited liability company, or partner in a limited liability partnership adjudged in default shall pay the costs of the action.   (3) An action for the collection of taxes due must be brought within 5 years from the date the original or amended report was filed or the assessment became due, whichever is later, or the action is barred.   (4) The department may pursue its remedy under 39-51-1304 or this section, or both.   History: En. Subd. (b), Sec. 14, Ch. 137, L. 1937; amd. Sec. 5, Ch. 137, L. 1939; amd.

  39-51-1307. Collection of unpaid taxes, penalties, and interest by offset. (1) To collect delinquent taxes, penalties, and interest, the department may direct the offset of any funds due the debtor from the state, except wages subject to the provisions of 25-13-614 and retirement benefits. The department, through the department of revenue, shall provide the debtor with notice of the right to request a hearing on the offset action. A request for hearing must be made within 30 days of the date of the notice.   (2) Subject to approval by the department, reasonable fees or costs of collection incurred by the department of revenue may be added to the amount of the debt, including added fees or costs. The debtor is liable for repayment of the amount of the debt plus fees or costs added pursuant to this subsection. All money collected must be returned to the department to be applied to the debt, except that all fees or costs collected must be retained by the department of revenue. If less than the full amount of the debt is collected, the department of revenue shall retain only a proportionate share of the collection fees or costs.   (3) The department may file a claim for state funds on behalf of the employer if a claim is required before funds are available for offset.   (4) The debt need not be determined to be uncollectible as provided for in 39-51-3207 before being transferred for offset.   (5) The department may direct the offset of funds owed to a person under 26 U.S.C. 6402 if the person owes a covered unemployment insurance tax debt. For the purposes of this subsection, "covered unemployment insurance tax debt" means:   (a) employer contributions, penalties, and interest owed to the unemployment insurance fund for which the department determines a person is liable and which remain uncollected; and   (b) any costs or processing fees associated with obtaining an offset for a covered unemployment insurance tax debt.
