IC 22-4-10-7: Successor employers; experience account; benefits; discrepancy in experience accounts

Sec. 7. (a) Except as provided by IC 22-4-6.5 or IC 22-4-11.5, when an employing unit (whether or not an employing unit prior thereto) assumes all of the resources and liabilities of the experience account of a predecessor employer, as provided in section 6 of this chapter, amounts paid by such predecessor employer shall be deemed to have been so paid by such successor employer. The experience of such predecessor with respect to unemployment risk, including but not limited to past payrolls and contributions, shall be credited to the account of such successor.

(b) The payments of benefits to an individual shall not in any case be denied or withheld because the experience account of an employer does not reflect a balance and total of contributions paid to be in excess of benefits charged to such experience account.
