Due to an increased number of employee terminations, weak economy, and people remaining on unemployment longer than in the past, the RCUH will need to adjust the Unemployment Insurance fringe rate from 0.45% to 1.25% effective January 1, 2010.

The total unemployment benefits paid out from July 2009 through November 2009 (5 months) is 130% more than the same time in 2007, and 76.7% more than 2008.
