Important News & Information
Q4 2025 Reporting Period
Quarter 4 2025 wage reports and premium payments are due Saturday, January 31, 2026. Here are some reminders for TPAs reporting employer wages:
- Employer Reporting Units have been discontinued. *All wage records must be reported from the employer’s primary EAN. When reporting employer wages via file upload, unit number values must be entered as “000”. (*For reimbursable employers, wage records must be reported from the former reporting unit’s newly-created EAN.)
- Review wage file error reports, and resubmit rejected records. Error reports are available in the “TPA Wage File History” screen to view EANs associated with rejected wage records. Missing or inaccurate wage information can result in penalties and interest charges to employer accounts.
- Report wages for multi-state workers correctly. Out-of-state wage credit requests must be submitted manually in MyUI Employer+. See how to manage out-of-state wage credits for more information and instructions.
2026 Premium Rates Available in MyUI Employer+
2026 employer premium rates are available online in MyUI Employer+. Annual Rate Notices have also been mailed. Visit the How to View Employer Client Rates page for step-by-step instructions to access 2026 employer client rates online in MyUI Employer+.
More information about the 2026 rate year, including 2026 rate calculations, rate tables, and more, is available on the Premium Rates page.
Voluntary Premium Payments
Employers with an experience rate, also called a computed rate, may be eligible to submit a Voluntary Premium Payment (VPP). VPPs are not a prepayment for premiums an employer will owe but can change an employer’s percent of excess, which may lower their UI rate in a calendar year.
Voluntary Premium Payments must be submitted online by Monday, March 16, 2026. Paper checks for VPPs are no longer accepted. Visit the Premium Payments page for more information.

MyUI Employer+ Resources for TPAs
UI Employer Client Onboarding
Bringing on new employer clients?
Here’s what TPAs and employers need to know to get started in MyUI Employer+.
All employers must create an employer account inside the MyUI Employer+ premium and wage reporting system. TPAs cannot register an employer account on behalf of a client.
TPAs will need to create a MyUI Employer+ TPA account and request access to employer accounts in order to conduct UI business on behalf of their clients. Employers will review and approve TPA association requests inside MyUI Employer+.
Employers and TPAs are responsible to maintain current contact information and communication preferences including addresses, emails, and other information inside MyUI Employer+.
Employers with good reason to conduct business with the UI Division by U.S. Mail must apply for a non-electronic communications waiver. Approved waivers are valid for one calendar year and must be renewed annually.
Premium payments and wage reports are due on the last day of the month following the end of a quarter (April 30, July 31, October 31, and January 31). Employer accounts with missing or overdue wage reports and premium payments are subject to penalties and interest.
Employers and TPAs should ensure they are submitting accurate and timely wage and fact-finding information. Employer wage detail reports and fact-finding documents submitted with errors, inaccuracies, or missing information may be subject to penalties and interest charges.
