This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to prevent small businesses with fewer than 500 employees from having their federal unemployment tax credits reduced due to their state having outstanding federal loans for unemployment insurance. This protects those small businesses from automatic federal unemployment insurance tax increases that would otherwise occur when a state fails to repay its federal unemployment insurance advances.
