[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I assumed that our UI taxes paid for this, too. Not actually true. This is from the MD Dept. of Labor, p. 12 of their guide for employers. They seek to recover ALL benefits paid to the employee by raising your experience rating, sometimes substantially:

The total amount of the charges to your account depends on the proportion of wages you paid to the person in relation to the total amount of wages paid by you and any other employers during the base period. This percentage, times the total amount of benefits ultimately received by the claimant while unemployed, equals your benefit charges. You are notified of the exact amount of charges at the end of each calendar quarter. [b]Benefits charged to your account will usually increase your tax rate and will result in higher tax payments that will enable the UI Trust Fund to recover the benefits paid over a three year period.

We moved away from MD, and we are still waiting to find out how much this will cost us. Our nanny is not planning to go back to work full time (she is having a baby and plans to be a SAHM), but is maintaining her eligibility for unemployment (no one wants to hire her as pregnant/sick as she is). I fully expect to be on the hook for all 26 weeks at $400, and since we only had nannies for four years, and only two of those years were full time, we have very little in our UI "bank" as compared to those benefits.[/quote]
