The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) sends quarterly reports to the City concerning claims that are paid on behalf of the City to eligible former employees. The fund was overseen by Risk Management prior to FY2001. The Fund transitioned from Risk Management to Human Resources Department effective October 1, 2001. Human Resources review all claims and files reports to TWC accordingly. The significant changes to the department, both in authorized positions and budget, are as follows: • FY2004: The adopted budget increased by $75K due to increased claims filed by former employees. The overall unemployment rate in Fort Worth had increased in 2003 and the City's rate as an employer showed an increase as well. • FY2007: The adopted budget increased by $26K and 0.15 APs. The increase is based on a partial position which has responsibility to oversee the fund. • FY2008: The adopted budget decreased by ($59K), which is due to reduced claims filed by former employees to TWC. • FY2011: The adopted budget increased by $357K based on the unemployment liability experienced in FY2010. The increase in unemployment liability was caused by a citywide reduction in force in FY2010. • FY2014: The adopted budgets decreased by about ($199K) as costs associated with unemployment claims by former employees declined. • FY2015: The budget decreased by ($51 K) due to the continued reduction in of costs associated with declining claims by former employees. In accordance with M&C G-18491, approved on June 2, 2015, the fund will be dissolved in FY2015. Beginning with the FY2016 budget, each department/fund will pay claims directly from their operating budgets based on actual expenses incurred in that specific fiscal year.
