Montana has amended its regulations under the Unemployment Compensation Law as follows:
Inactive claim. Claimants can now reactivate inactive claims through the department's Internet claims application.
Eligibility. A claimant will now be considered to be seeking work if he or she is not incarcerated for more than two days in a benefit week if those days are normal work days in the claimant's occupation or in a suitable occupation as determined by the department.
Employee expenses. Reimbursement for mileage can now be at a rate not greater than that allowed by the preceding year. Prior regulations required that reimbursement be at a rate no greater than the rate allowed for the current year. The regulations also now specify that one of the conditions required to find that reimbursed expenses are not wages is that the reimbursement is not deducted from the employee's wages. Prior regulations only specified that the reimbursement must not be based on a percentage of the employee's wages.
Local government experience rating. The rate schedule used by government entities after July 1, 2008, has been added. Assessments are made at the rate of .09% of total quarterly wages and range from .06% to 1.46%.
