Notice of the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) Credit 
Reductions Applicable for 2024

    Sections 3302(c)(2)(A) and 3302(d)(3) of FUTA provide that 
employers in a State that has outstanding advances under title XII of 
the Social Security Act on January 1 of two or more consecutive years 
are subject to a reduction in credits otherwise available against the 
FUTA tax for the calendar year in which the most recent such January 1 
occurs, if advances remain on November 10 of that year. Further, 
section 3302(c)(2)(C) of FUTA provides for an additional credit 
reduction for a year if a state has outstanding advances on five or 
more consecutive January 1 and has a balance on November 10 for such 
years. Section 3302(c)(2)(C) provides for waiver of this additional 
credit reduction and substitution of the credit reduction provided in 
section 3302(c)(2)(B) if a state meets certain conditions.
    California, Connecticut, New York, and the US Virgin Islands (USVI) 
had outstanding advances on January 1 for two or more consecutive years 
and employers in these States were potentially subject to a FUTA credit 
reduction in 2024. Connecticut repaid

[[Page 99283]]

their outstanding advances before November 10, 2024, and as a result, 
employers in this state are not subject to a FUTA credit reduction for 
2024. California and New York did not repay their outstanding advances 
before November 10, 2024, and had outstanding advances on January 1 for 
four consecutive years. Therefore, employers in California and New York 
are subject to a FUTA credit reduction of 0.9 percent for 2024.
    USVI has had outstanding advances on January 1 for 15 consecutive 
years. As a result, employers in USVI were potentially liable for the 
additional credit reduction under section 3302(c)(2)(C) of FUTA. The 
jurisdiction applied for the waiver of this additional credit reduction 
and the Employment and Training Administration determined that USVI met 
each of the criteria necessary to qualify for the waiver of the 
additional credit reduction. Therefore, employers in USVI will have no 
additional credit reduction applied for calendar year 2024. However, 
because USVI has had an outstanding advance on each January 1 from 2010 
through 2024, and maintained an outstanding balance on November 10, 
2024, employers in USVI are subject to a FUTA credit reduction of 4.2 
percent in 2024.
