Additional assessment for interest on federal advancements and proceeds of credit instruments, procedure

In plain English

If Missouri's unemployment fund borrows money from the federal government or uses loans/credit, employers in the state get charged extra fees to help pay back that borrowed money plus interest. Each employer's share of the extra charge is based on how much in wages they paid or contributions they made compared to all other Missouri employers. Employers get notified each year about what they owe, and if too much money is collected, the extra gets returned to employers or put back into the unemployment fund.
