Please Note: UC benefits are subject to federal income tax. You may elect to have federal income tax withheld from your UC benefits. The amount of federal income tax withheld per week is 10 percent of your gross weekly benefit rate (the amount of UC you would receive if you were totally unemployed before deductions, if any), not the amount of Shared-Work UC you actually receive. For example, if your weekly benefit rate is $200 and you are in a Shared-Work Plan with a 20 percent reduction to your work hours, your weekly Shared-Work UC amount would be $40 (20 percent of $200). If you elect to have federal tax withheld, you would receive $20 and $20 would go to the Internal Revenue Service (10 percent of $200 is $20).
