(1) The commissioner shall prepare a schedule listing all employers for whom a reserve ratio has been computed pursuant to this paragraph, in the order of their reserve ratios, beginning with the highest ratio. For each employer, the schedule must show:
(a) The amount of the employer's reserve ratio;
(b) The amount of the employer's annual taxable payroll; and
(c) A cumulative total consisting of the amount of the employer's annual taxable payroll plus the amount of the annual taxable payrolls of all other employers preceding the employer on the list.
(2) The commissioner shall segregate employers into contribution categories in accordance with the cumulative totals under subparagraph (1), division (c). The contribution category is determined by the cumulative payroll percentage limits in column B. Each contribution category is identified by the contribution category number in column A that is opposite the figures in column B, which represent the percentage limits of each contribution category. If an employer's taxable payroll falls in more than one contribution category, the employer must be assigned to the lower-numbered contribution category, except that an employer may not be assigned to a higher contribution category than is assigned any other employer with the same reserve ratio.

(3-A) Beginning January 1, 2008, the commissioner shall compute a reserve multiple to determine the schedule and planned yield in effect for a rate year. The reserve multiple is determined by dividing the fund reserve ratio by the average benefit cost rate. The determination date is October 31st of each calendar year. The schedule and planned yield that apply for the 12-month period commencing on January 1, 2008 and every January 1st thereafter are shown on the line of the following table that corresponds with the applicable reserve multiple in column A.
| A | B | C |
| Reserve | Schedule | Planned |
| Multiple | Yield | |
| Over 1.58 | A | 0.6% |
| 1.50 - 1.57 | B | 0.7% |
| 1.42 - 1.49 | C | 0.8% |
| 1.33 - 1.41 | D | 0.9% |
| 1.25 - 1.32 | E | 1.0% |
| .50 - 1.24 | F | 1.1% |
| .25 - .49 | G | 1.2% |
| Under .25 | H | 1.3% |
(4) The commissioner shall compute the predetermined yield by multiplying the ratio of total wages to taxable wages for the preceding calendar year by the planned yield.
(5) The commissioner shall determine the contribution rates effective for a rate year by multiplying the predetermined yield by the experience factors for each contribution category. Contribution category 20 in the table in subparagraph (2) must be assigned a contribution rate of at least 5.4%. The employer's experience factor is the percentage shown in column C in the table in subparagraph (2) that corresponds with the employer's contribution category in column A, except that the experience factors in column E must be used to determine the contribution rates for rate years 2000 and 2001 and those in column D must be used for rate years 2002 and 2003. Beginning January 1, 2018, for rate years when schedule A is in effect as determined in subparagraph (3-A), the experience factor in subparagraph (2) for contribution category 1 is assigned an experience factor of 0.00 in column C.
(6) If, subsequent to the assignment of contribution rates for a rate year, the reserve ratio of an employer is recomputed and changed, the employer must be placed in the position on the schedule prepared pursuant to subparagraph (1) that the employer would have occupied had the corrected reserve ratio been shown on the schedule. The altered position on the schedule does not affect the position of any other employer.
(7) In computing the contribution rates, only the wages reported by employers liable for payment of contributions into the fund and net benefits paid that are charged to an employer's experience rating record or to the fund are considered in the computation of the average benefit cost rate and the ratio of total wages to taxable wages.
(8) Beginning January 1, 2008, all contribution rates must be reduced by the Competitive Skills Scholarship Fund predetermined yield as defined in section 1166, subsection 1, paragraph C, except that contribution category 20 under this paragraph may not be reduced below 5.4%.
(9) Beginning January 1, 2021, the contribution rate must also be reduced by the Unemployment Program Administrative Fund predetermined yield as defined in section 1167, subsection 1, paragraph C, except that a contribution rate under this paragraph may not be reduced below 1%.

§ 1167. Unemployment Program Administrative Fund
PART GG
Sec. GG-1. Money credited to State of Maine account in Unemployment Trust Fund under Section 903(f) of federal Social Security Act. Money credited to the account of the State of Maine in the federal Unemployment Trust Fund by the United States Secretary of the Treasury on July 29, 2009 pursuant to Section 903(f) of the federal Social Security Act may not be requisitioned from the State's account or used except for the payment of benefits and for the payment of expenses incurred for the administration of the State's unemployment compensation law and public employment offices. Money used for the payment of benefits is requisitioned as defined in the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 26, section 1162. Money requisitioned and used for the payment of expenses incurred for the administration of the State's unemployment compensation law and public employment offices requires a specific appropriation by the Legislature as provided in section 2. That use is only permissible if the expenses are incurred and the money is requisitioned after the effective date of a law making an appropriation and specifying the purposes for which the money is appropriated and the amounts appropriated for those purposes. Any amount that may be obligated under such an appropriation is limited to an amount that does not exceed the amount by which the aggregate of the amounts transferred to the account of the State of Maine pursuant to Section 903(f) of the federal Social Security Act exceeds the aggregate of the amounts used by the State pursuant to this Act and charged against the amounts transferred to the account of the State of Maine.
For purposes of this section, the amounts obligated under an appropriation for administrative purposes must be charged against transferred amounts at the exact time the obligation is entered into. The appropriation, obligation and expenditure or other disposition of money appropriated under this section must be accounted for in accordance with standards established by the United States Secretary of Labor. Money appropriated as provided in this Act for the payment of administration must be requisitioned as needed for the payment of obligations incurred under the appropriation and, upon requisition, must be deposited in the Employment Security Administration Fund from which payments are made. Money so deposited must, until expended, remain a part of the unemployment fund and, if it will not be immediately expended, must be returned promptly to the account of the State of Maine in the federal Unemployment Trust Fund.
Sec. GG-2. Allocation maintaining state unemployment compensation and public employment system. There is allocated out of funds made available to the State under Section 903(f) of the federal Social Security Act, as amended, the sum of $27,534,100, in accordance with section 1, to be used under the direction of the Department of Labor for the purpose of maintaining and operating the State's unemployment compensation and public employment system. The uses include both personnel and nonpersonnel administrative costs required to administer the unemployment insurance program, deliver employment assistance services through the Department of Labor's career center system and provide labor market information program services for workers and employers in the State.
The amount obligated pursuant to this Act may not exceed at any time the amount by which the aggregate of the amounts transferred to the account of the State of Maine pursuant to Section 903(f) of the federal Social Security Act exceeds the aggregate of the amounts obligated for administration and paid out for benefits and required by law to be charged against the amounts transferred to the account of the State of Maine.
