Notice of the Federal Unemployment
Tax Act (FUTA) Credit Reductions
Applicable for 2023
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Sections 3302(c)(2)(A) and 3302(d)(3)
of FUTA provide that employers in a
state that has outstanding advances
under Title XII of the Social Security
Act on January 1 of two or more
consecutive years are subject to a
reduction in credits otherwise available
against the FUTA tax for the calendar
year in which the most recent such
January 1 occurs, if advances remain on
November 10 of that year. Further,
section 3302(c)(2)(C) of FUTA provides
for an additional credit reduction for a
year if a state has outstanding advances
on five or more consecutive January 1
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:47 Nov 30, 2023
and has a balance on November 10 for
such years. Section 3302(c)(2)(C)
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, Illinois, New
York, and the US Virgin Islands (USVI)
had outstanding advances on January 1
for two or more consecutive years and
employers in these states were
potentially subject to a FUTA credit
reduction in 2023. However,
Connecticut and Illinois repaid their
outstanding advances before November
10, 2023. As a result, employers in these
two states are not subject to a FUTA
credit reduction for 2023. California and
New York did not repay their
outstanding advances before November
10, 2023. Therefore, employers in these
states are subject to a FUTA credit
reduction of 0.6 percent for 2023.
USVI has experienced outstanding
advances on January 1 for many years.
Employers in USVI were potentially
liable for the additional credit reduction
under section 3302(c)(2)(C) of FUTA.
The jurisdiction applied for the waiver
of this additional credit reduction and
the Employment and Training
Administration determined that USVI
met each of the criteria necessary to
qualify for the waiver of the additional
credit reduction. Therefore, employers
in USVI will have no additional credit
reduction applied for calendar year
2023. However, because USVI has had
an outstanding advance on each January
1 from 2010 through 2023, and
maintained an outstanding balance on
November 10, 2023, employers in USVI
are subject to a FUTA credit reduction
of 3.9 percent in 2023.

notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a

Notice of the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) Credit
Reductions Applicable for 2023
Sections 3302(c)(2)(A) and 3302(d)(3) of FUTA provide that
employers in a state that has outstanding advances under Title XII of
the Social Security Act on January 1 of two or more consecutive years
are subject to a reduction in credits otherwise available against the
FUTA tax for the calendar year in which the most recent such January 1
occurs, if advances remain on November 10 of that year. Further,
section 3302(c)(2)(C) of FUTA provides for an additional credit
reduction for a year if a state has outstanding advances on five or
more consecutive January 1 and has a balance on November 10 for such
years. Section 3302(c)(2)(C) 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, Illinois, New York, and the US Virgin
Islands (USVI) had outstanding advances on January 1 for two or more
consecutive years and employers in these states were potentially
subject to a FUTA credit reduction in 2023. However, Connecticut and
Illinois repaid their outstanding advances before November 10, 2023. As
a result, employers in these two states are not subject to a FUTA
credit reduction for 2023. California and New York did not repay their
outstanding advances before November 10, 2023. Therefore, employers in
these states are subject to a FUTA credit reduction of 0.6 percent for
2023.
USVI has experienced outstanding advances on January 1 for many
years. Employers in USVI were potentially liable for the additional
credit reduction under section 3302(c)(2)(C) of FUTA. The jurisdiction
applied for the waiver of this additional credit reduction and the

2023, and maintained an outstanding balance on November 10, 2023,
employers in USVI are subject to a FUTA credit reduction of 3.9 percent
in 2023.
