Surcharge Rate
A surcharge is added in the
calculation of each employer’s
contribution rate, subject to the
applicable maximum rate, for a calendar
year whenever the balance to the credit
of the RUI Account on the preceding
June 30 is less than the greater of $100
million or the amount that bears the
same ratio to $100 million as the system
compensation base for that June 30
bears to the system compensation base
as of June 30, 1991. If the RUI Account
balance is less than $100 million (as
indexed), but at least $50 million (as
indexed), the surcharge will be 1.5
percent. If the RUI Account balance is
less than $50 million (as indexed), but
greater than zero, the surcharge will be
2.5 percent. The maximum surcharge of
3.5 percent applies if the RUI Account
balance is less than zero.
The ratio of the June 30, 2019 system
compensation base of $4,207,873,508.12
to the June 30, 1991 system
compensation base of $2,763,287,237.04
is 1.52277818. Multiplying 1.52277818
by $100 million yields $152,277,818.00.
Multiplying $50 million by 1.52277818
produces $76,138,909.00. The Account
balance on June 30, 2019, was
$157,488,983.12. Accordingly, the
surcharge rate for calendar year 2020 is
zero.
Monthly Compensation Base
For years after 1988, section 1(i) of the
Act contains a formula for determining
the monthly compensation base. Under
the prescribed formula, the monthly
compensation base increases by
approximately two-thirds of the
cumulative growth in average national
wages since 1984. The monthly
compensation base for months in
calendar year 2020 shall be equal to the
greater of (a) $600 or (b) $600 [1 + {(A—
37,800)/56,700}], where A equals the
amount of the applicable base with
respect to tier 1 taxes for 2020 under
section 3231(e)(2) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986. Section 1(i)
further provides that if the amount so
determined is not a multiple of $5, it
shall be rounded to the nearest multiple
of $5.
Using the calendar year 2020 tier 1 tax
base of $137,700 for A above produces
the amount of $1,657.14, which must
then be rounded to $1,655. Accordingly,
the monthly compensation base is
determined to be $1,655 for months in
calendar year 2020.
Amounts Related to Changes in
Monthly Compensation Base
For years after 1988, sections 1(k), 3,
4(a–2)(i)(A) and 2(c) of the Act contain
