3302(c)(2)(C) also provides for waiver of
this additional credit reduction and
substitution of the credit reduction
provided in section 3302(c)(2)(B) if a
state meets certain conditions.
California, Connecticut, Ohio, and the
Virgin Islands passed January 1, 2016
with outstanding Title XII advances and
were potentially subject to FUTA credit
reductions.
California, Ohio, and the Virgin
Islands applied for a waiver of the 2016
additional credit reduction under
section 3302 (c)(2)(C) of FUTA and it
has been determined that each one met
all of the criteria of that section
necessary to qualify for the waiver of the
additional credit reduction. Further, the
additional credit reduction of section
3302(c)(2)(B) is zero for these States for
2016. Therefore, employers in these
States will have no additional credit
reduction applied for calendar year
2016.
Connecticut and Ohio repaid all of
their outstanding advance balances
before the beginning of November 10,
2016. Therefore, employers in those
States will have no reduction in FUTA
offset credit for calendar year 2016.
California and the Virgin Islands will
have a credit reduction of 1.8 for
calendar year 2016.

the SEED implementation team to make
the initiative as efficient and effective as
possible. This Federal Register Notice
