On November 8, 2018, the Secretary of the Puerto Rico Department of Labor and Human Resources published a new regulation governing the administration of Puerto Rico’s unemployment insurance program. The Regulation to Administer the Unemployment Insurance Program (“Regulation”), which implements Puerto Rico’s Employment Security Act and supersedes three previous regulations,1 will take effect on December 8, 2018. Among other provisions, the Regulation reflects changes in weekly benefit amounts, revises partial payment plan requirements, and extends the time in which an employer can appeal a tax deficiency determination.
