Board moves to establish county unemployment fund after ISAC ends administration
Summary
O'Brien County supervisors discussed options after ISAC ended unemployment administration and indicated they will move forward to set up a county fund and pay claims quarterly through the state process.
Supervisors discussed how to handle unemployment claims administration after ISAC (Iowa State Association of Counties) ended its program. The minutes record two options: establish a county unemployment fund and pay claims submitted quarterly by the state, or quarterly send funds to the state to pay claims. "The board would like to move forward with setting up a county fund and paying claims that are submitted for payment by the state quarterly," the minutes state.
No ordinance, contract, or dollar figure for initial funding was recorded; the minutes note the board's direction but do not record the administrative steps or timeline for establishing the fund. The county auditor or administration is the likely next point of contact to implement the change and to provide details on funding mechanisms.
