Upon enrolling in the Trust and receiving direct reimburser status with the state, your Agency's unemployment state account number will change. This new number will be mailed directly to your office, or to your payroll agency, and a copy will need to be forwarded to the Administrator as soon as it is received.

If you use a payroll service to file your quarterly payroll tax reports and pay employer taxes, you must inform then that you have elected to become a direct reimburser for unemployment claims. They should no longer pay the state unemployment insurance tax or collect it from your Agency. However, they should continue to report the employee information to the state and provide you with wage detail and taxable wage base information. The reports generated by your payroll service will be used to calculate the funds to be paid to the Trust.

Upon enrollment, you signed a power of attorney form allowing the claims monitor, TALX, to represent your agency for all unemployment claims issues, and to make them the "address of record" for all state unemployment mail. It is essential that you maintain this election. Should you receive any unemployment claims or charge statements at your office please forward these items immediately to TALX at the appropriate address shown in the administration manual section "Whom to Call."

The following states have bonding requirements that the Trust will post: Alaska, Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon and Pennsylvania. If you are in one of these states please contact the Administrator to discuss the proper procedure for your state.

Keep your Administrator, AGIA, Inc., updated with any changes in your address, phone number, fax number, e-mail address or key contact people. If you have changes please fax the information to AGIA at (805) 566-4921.
