Application Now Available: Opportunity to Offset Unemployment Benefit Charges
Attention employer dentists: Taxable employers affected by COVID-19 may now submit an application to Washington state’s Employment Security Department (ESD) to offset some of their benefit charges instead of charging them to their experience rating. By applying to offset benefit charges from the first two quarters of 2020, employers might reduce their 2021 tax rate. Please note that the offset is not a refund or reimbursement.
The application deadline is Sept. 30, 2020.
