Unemployment tax changes: How they affect you

First, be sure to submit your 1st Quarter Wage Detail Report and payment on or before the due date.

Next: 

• Most employers do not have to do anything if they don’t want to. A credit balance will automatically be applied to future amounts due. 
• If you prefer to have the credit returned you, you can request a refund. If approved, a paper check will be sent to the address designated. Your refund may take extra time to process depending on the volume of requests we receive or the complexity of your account.
• If you hired a third-party agent to handle your wage detail reporting and payments, they should notify you of any actions they need you to take. A refund is available to you if your agent will not apply a credit balance to a future amount due.

Follow these steps to review the balance on your account:

1. Log in to your account at www.uimn.org 
2. On My Home page, select Payment Information 
3. Select Account Summary. View example.

The total amount shown on the Account Summary Statement Period is the total balance due on your employer account, or if there is a credit, it is the total credit balance available on your account.
