March 2, 2021 - The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) delayed the setting of the employer’s unemployment insurance tax rates to allow for more time for ongoing legislative efforts and the continuing economic recovery to play out. This is part of our continuing efforts to pursue all options to keep the 2021 tax rates as low as possible for Texas employers. Last week, Governor Greg Abbott suspended a section of the Texas Labor Code which paved the way for the TWC decision. Governor Abbott’s suspension allows for postponement of the setting of tax rates until July 2021.
