Copy as parenthetical citation

(1) Social costs consist of the following benefit costs: (a) Benefit costs of an individual will not be charged to a base-period employer and are considered social costs if the individual's separation from that employer occurred under the following circumstances: (i) the individual was discharged by the employer or voluntarily quit employment with the employer for disqualifying reasons, but subsequently requalified for benefits and actually received benefits; (ii) the individual received benefits following a quit which was not attributable to the employer; (iii) the individual received benefits following a discharge for nonperformance due to medical reasons; (iv) the individual received benefits while attending the first week of mandatory apprenticeship training; or (v) the individual received benefits after quitting voluntarily to accompany or follow a spouse who is a member of the United States armed forces as described in Subsection 35A-4-405(1)(e). (b) Social costs are benefit costs that are or have been charged to an employer who has terminated coverage and is no longer liable for contributions, less the amount of contributions paid by the employer during the same time period. (c) The difference between the benefit charges of all employers whose benefit ratio exceeds the maximum overall contribution rate and the amount determined by multiplying the taxable payroll of the same employers by the maximum overall contribution rate is a social cost. (d) Benefit costs attributable to a concurrent base-period employer will not be charged to that employer if the individual's customary hours of work for that employer have not been reduced. (e) Benefit costs incurred during the course of division-approved training will not be charged to base-period employers. (f) Benefit costs will not be charged to employers if the costs are attributable to: (i) the state's share of extended benefits; (ii) uncollectible benefit overpayments; or (iii) the proportion of benefit costs of combined wage claims that are chargeable to Utah employers and are insufficient when separately considered for a monetary eligible claim under Utah law and which have been transferred to a paying state. (g) Benefit costs that are not charged to an employer and not described in this Subsection (1) are also social costs.
