| Illinois Register Citation (Page Number and Publication Date): |
04/25/05 at page 6788 for emergency rule; permanent rulemaking adopted on 9/1/05 at page 13988. |
| Type of Rule (New/Emergency/Amended): |
Emergency with permanent rulemaking adopted. |
| Type of Impact (Reporting/Cost or Fee/Education Credit/Other - specify): |
Effectively allows Household employers to pay unemployment insurance contributions and to file related reports only once a year instead of quarterly. |
| Business or Industry Type Affected: |
Employers who employ only household workers and would qualify to use Schedule 1040H to report their federal employment taxes. |
| Effective Date: |
April 25, 2005 |
| Plain Language Explanation: |
In an attempt to reduce paperwork and ease filing requirements for households that solely employ household workers, this rulemaking would waive interest on their quarterly unemployment insurance contributions, as long as the contributions were paid in full by April 15 of the calendar year following the close of the quarters for which the contributions were due. It would also waive penalties with regard to the households' quarterly wage and contribution reports as long as they were filed by April of the calendar year following the close of the quarter for which they were due. Finally, it sets forth conditions for waiving penalties against those households with regard to wage and contribution reports filed after the April 15 due date.
The proposed amendment to Section 2720.132 updates an address.
The Department intends to revise its rules to reflect the amendment to the Unemployment Insurance Act which expands the period in which it may reconsider a claimant's eligibility for benefits where the claimant had received a back pay award or misstated his/her earnings from one and two years, respectively, to three years.
