Massachusetts will raise unemployment tax rates next year due to a shrinking state unemployment fund reserve. Schedule D, effective January 1, will range from 1.1 to 2.8 percent, replacing Schedule C’s 8 to 3.7 percent. The change affects about 105,000 employers who pay quarterly on worker wages. The fund balance as of September 30 fell short of the required minimum, prompting the new rate schedule.
