Grassroots Effort to Prevent Unemployment Insurance Payroll Taxes From Skyrocketing

The Big I MN, in conjunction, with business community, is launching an effort to prevent your Unemployment Insurance payroll taxes from skyrocketing. The attached letter, which was sent to all 201 Legislators, urges the Legislature to take immediate action to stabilize MN’s UI Trust Fund and hold MN businesses harmless from increased UI costs associated with the pandemic. The State has a $7.7 billion surplus and and over $1 billion in unspent federal pandemic relief funds that can be made available to protect businesses. While the payroll tax increase will take effect in January, the first payments are due in April giving the Legislature time to prevent the increase. Stay tuned for progress reports!
