2001 SESSION
010018560Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 60.2-533 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 60.2-533. Fund balance factor.
A. As of July 1 of each calendar year, a fund balance factor, rounded to the nearest one-tenth of a percent, shall be determined as follows:
The net assets which that shall be compared with the "adequate balance" as
determined in subsection B of this section, shall be comprised of the balance
which that shall stand to the credit of the account of the Commonwealth of
Virginia in the Unemployment Trust Fund in the Treasury of the United States; amounts withdrawn
therefrom but not expended; employer payments not yet transferred to such
account; net employer taxes receivable; and amounts due from claimants and
other states, minus payables due to claimants, employers, other funds of the
Virginia Employment Commission, and other states. The resulting percent shall
be termed the "fund balance factor," except that if the percent determined is
less than fifty percent, the fund balance factor shall be fifty percent.
B. As of July 1 of each calendar year, the Commission shall determine the "adequate balance" for the trust fund as follows:
For the twenty-year twenty-five-year period ending July 1 of the year of
determination, the highest ratios of benefits divided by total wages of three separate consecutive
four-quarter periods shall be averaged and multiplied by 1.38 to determine the
fund adequacy multiplier. The fund adequacy multiplier shall be multiplied by
the total wages for the year in question to determine the "adequate fund
balance" for that year.
C. A fund building rate of two-tenths percent shall be added to all experience rating rates established pursuant to § 60.2-531, and to all assigned tax rates established pursuant to §§ 60.2-515, 60.2-526, 60.2-527 and 60.2-538, except that such rate shall not be applied if the fund balance factor determined pursuant to subsection B of this section exceeds fifty percent.
