The primary goal of the Employer Tax Unit is to provide and account for the funding needed to pay Unemployment Insurance benefits to eligible jobless workers, and Temporary Disability Insurance benefits to eligible workers idled by non work-related injury or illness. These programs provide economic stability to workers, families, communities and the Rhode Island economy as a whole.

The Employer Tax Unit processes all Quarterly Tax and Wage Reports (Form TX-17) and accompanying tax payments, submitted by Rhode Island employers. These payments include all required Employment Security, Job Development Fund, Reemployment Fund and Temporary Disability Insurance taxes.
