Unemployment Compensation Insurance (UCI)

Unemployment Compensation Insurance (UCI) is an employer-paid insurance program to assist workers who are unemployed through no fault of their own. It provides temporary financial assistance to qualified individuals while they search for other work.

The U.S. Congress passed legislation in 1970 requiring states to cover employees of state hospitals and state institutions of higher education under their respective unemployment insurance acts. In 1971, the Texas Legislature passed legislation to provide unemployment compensation insurance coverage for all states employees. Following this legislation, the U.T. System UCI program was established.

In accordance with the Regents Rules and Regulations, it is the responsibility of U.T. System Administration's Office of Risk Management to administer an UCI program and fund to pay claims.

As a reimbursing employer, U.T. System reimburses the State Unemployment Trust Fund for any claims paid by the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) to former employees of U.T. System in lieu of paying UCI taxes. ORM reimburses TWC on a quarterly basis and monitors the monthly receipt of UCI premiums from the UT System institutions.
