Fiscal Detail and Notes
Allowing the Commissioner of Labor to negotiate settlements associated with the erroneous payment of unemployment benefits may result in less money being paid back to the Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund and could potentially affect future employer contribution rates.  The impact can not be determined at this time.  The additional administrative cost to the Department of Labor associated with the negotiating and settlement process can not be determined at this time.
