The Employment Security Law of Arizona establishes the eligibility requirements for the payment of unemployment insurance and information about eligibility, and this information is available on Arizona Unemployment Insurance posters.

Two kinds of eligibility are addressed on Arizona Unemployment Insurance posters

Monetary Eligibility - Wages earned in Arizona’s Base Period from employers subject to the law, and

Non-monetary Eligibility - Reason for separation from the last employer as well as other eligibility requirements; such as being able to work, available for work and seeking full-time employment.

The Arizona Unemployment Insurance posters also contain information for filing and appealing claims.

The Unemployment Insurance Tax Section collects payroll taxes and wage information from employers and insures the integrity of the Federal Trust Fund in which taxes are deposited. An employer’s tax rate is based in part, on their actual experience with unemployment insurance. As an employer, you contribute to the Unemployment Insurance Benefits Program as described on the Arizona Unemployment Insurance posters through your state and federal unemployment insurance taxes. These contributions allow eligible individuals to receive benefits while they seek new employment.

In order to qualify for online filing of your quarterly Unemployment Insurance Tax and Wage Report (and/or a Report of Changes), your business must be REGISTERED and have an ACTIVE account with the Department of Economic Security as a RATED or REIMBURSABLE employer.

REGISTERED - An Arizona Joint Tax Application has been filed with the Department and an Unemployment Tax Account number has been assigned.

ACTIVE - An employer who currently has Arizona employment and has received written notice of an Unemployment Tax Account number.

RATED - An Arizona Unemployment Tax Account has been assigned and the employer has been given a tax rate for the calendar year.

REIMBURSABLE - An employer determined as having a reimbursable account, i.e., a qualified employer who was offered and chose the alternative method of paying state unemployment insurance taxes known as the Reimbursement Payment Option.

The full details of unemployment insurance for Arizona can be found on the Arizona Complete Labor Law poster. This one posting reflects all of the most up to date state and federal labor laws.
