Section 8-76-108
Coverage by political subdivisions
(1)
Intentionally left blank —Ed.(a)
Political subdivisions are covered employers if employees employed by such political subdivisions perform services in employment as defined by section 8-70-119. Such political subdivisions may elect to pay premiums in lieu of reimbursements. Any political subdivision that makes reimbursement shall not be liable to make such payments with respect to the benefits paid to any individual whose base period wages include wages for previously uncovered services as defined in section 8-70-141 (1)(d) to the extent that the unemployment compensation fund is reimbursed for such benefits pursuant to section 121 of Public Law 94-566.(b)
Repealed.(c)
The amounts required to be paid in lieu of premiums by any political subdivision under this section shall be billed and payment made as provided in section 8-76-110 (3) with respect to similar payments by nonprofit organizations.(d)
An election by a contributing political subdivision to become a reimbursing employer or an election by a reimbursing political subdivision to become a contributing employer may be made by filing with the division written notice, in such form and manner as the director of the division may prescribe by rule, not later than March 1 of the calendar year in which the election is to be effective. Such election becomes effective as of the first day of the calendar year with respect to services performed after that date. Notwithstanding the effective date of any election, the political subdivision remains liable for all benefits chargeable against its account that it has not paid.(e)
Political subdivisions or their instrumentalities that are liable for payments in lieu of premiums shall pay to the division for the unemployment compensation fund the full amount of all regular and extended benefits paid that are attributable to service in their employ. Political subdivisions or their instrumentalities that have elected to pay premiums as permitted by this section shall have their accounts charged with the full amount of all regular and extended benefits that are attributable to service in their employ.(f)
Any extension of unemployment insurance coverage to political subdivisions mandated by Public Law 94-566 shall again become optional in the event such mandatory coverage is declared unconstitutional or null and void by the supreme court of the United States or is repealed by an act of congress.
