Governor Mark Gordon signed an Executive Order Monday that will prevent large increases in Unemployment Insurance taxes for businesses that were directly impacted by the statewide health orders enacted to slow the spread of COVID-19. The Department of Workforce Services is removing UI benefit charges from the policies for all contributory businesses in industries specifically named in the health orders. This will ensure those businesses do not experience significant UI tax rate increases as a result of employees’ claims due to the pandemic. The Executive Order is effective retroactively from March 19th when the first statewide health order was issued, through December 31st. Governor Gordon and the Department of Workforce Services will continue to monitor Wyoming’s unemployment condition and may extend the order beyond December 31st, if conditions warrant an extension.
