Accompanying the financial statements is the Schedule of Cash Balance Related to Taxable Employers, which is used to determine the tax rate paid by employers. Section
108.18(3m), Wis. Stats., requires the highest tax rate schedule to be applied when the Fund's cash balance as of June 30 is less than $300 million. Consequently, the highest of four tax rate schedules is being applied in calendar year 2011.
We appreciate the courtesy and cooperation extended to us by Department of Workforce Development staff in completing the audit.
Sincerely,
janice mueller
State Auditor
