Governor Blunt Extends Unemployment Tax Filing Deadline in Flood Damaged Areas

June 27, 2008 - In a press release today, Governor Matt Blunt announced he has requested the Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations extend the filing deadline for unemployment tax reports by 30 days, for employers in counties damaged by recent floods. The second quarter reports would normally be due July 31, but that deadline would be extended to August 31 according to the Governor's press release.

The deadline extension is NOT automatic, however. Employers in the affected counties may request the extension in writing or electronically through the Unemployment State Tax Automated Reporting System (USTARS).

Counties affected by the disaster declaration and this extension are:
The counties of Andrew, Atchison, Buchanan, Cape Girardeau, Clark, Holt, Jefferson, Lewis, Lincoln, Marion, Mississippi, New Madrid, Nodaway, Pemiscot, Perry, Pike, Platte, Ralls, St. Charles, St. Louis, Ste. Genevieve and Scott and the City of St. Louis.
