Section R. 421.602 - Nonprofit employer liable before December 21, 1989, electing reimbursement payments; securityRule 2.
(1) A nonprofit employer that was liable before December 21, 1989, and that elects the reimbursement method of financing on or after December 21, 1989, shall be required to post a security for the year of election and the succeeding year. Thereafter, the security shall be renewed for 2-year periods. A nonprofit employer that seeks to renew a security and thereby retain reimbursement status by posting a security shall do so by November 30 of the year before the year for which the security is renewed.(2) The security shall be in the form of a surety bond, irrevocable letter of credit, or other banking device which is acceptable to the commission and which provides for payment to the commission, on demand, of an amount equal to the security that is required to be posted. The required security may be posted by a third-party guarantor.(3) This rule shall not apply to a nonprofit employer that is expected to have less than $100,000.00 or less per calendar year in total wage payments, as determined by the commission. However, a nonprofit employer that elects reimbursement status on or after December 21, 1989, shall be required to provide security when the payment of gross wages in a calendar year reaches exceeds $100,000.00. It is the employer's duty to notify the commission, within 60 days, that its payroll has reached exceeds $100,000.00 per year. The security shall be posted within 30 days of notice of such requirement by the commission.(4) The amount of security that is required shall be 4.0% of the employer's estimated total annual wage payments, as determined by the commission. Employers that have a previous wage payment history shall be required to file a security that is equal to 4.0% of the gross wages paid for the 12-month period ended June 30 of the year before the year the security is required or 4.0% of the estimated total annual wages, whichever is greater.Mich.
