Washington AP. The White House has proposed that state governments subsidize short-term payments for unemployment compensation, having exhausted many of its reserves for this purpose, while delaying the income level used to transfer the cost of unemployment companies.



The Government will include the proposal in the new federal budget to be announced next week.



Rising unemployment has placed a heavy burden to the states, to the point that 30 of them due to the federal treasury of $ 42 billion in money borrowed to pay given its citizens the benefits of unemployment insurance.



Three of those states have had to increase the unemployment tax return to begin what should the American taxpayer. 20 other states will surely have to do the same. Under federal law, these tax increases are automatic once the money owed reaches a certain limit.



The White House imposed a moratorium in 2011 and 2012 on increasing the state tax and interest payments owed by the states. However, in 2014 the Government aims to increase tax revenues that finance the unemployment benefits, 7 thousand to 15 thousand.
