At our current trajectory, we will have to borrow from the federal government as early as September to replenish the fund to continue paying state unemployment benefits to Louisiana workers. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

I have serious concerns about the solvency of the Trust Fund and the need for federal assistance to make sure Louisiana can continue to pay out unemployment benefits. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, our Unemployment Trust Fund was the 17th strongest in the nation. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

If the trust fund falls below a balance of $100 million, Louisiana law mandates @LouisianaWorks to impose a surtax on businesses of up to 30% on taxable payroll. This would be a last resort but without intervention, it will almost certainly be necessary. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org
