Mo. Rev. Stat. § 288.121
On October first of each calendar year, if the average balance, less any federal advances, of the unemployment compensation trust fund of the four preceding quarters (September thirtieth, June thirtieth, March thirty-first and December thirty-first of the preceding calendar year) is less than four hundred million dollars, then each employer's contribution rate calculated for the four calendar quarters of the succeeding calendar year shall be increased by the percentage determined from the following table:
| Balance in Trust Fund | ||
| Less Than | Equals or Exceeds | Percentage of Increase |
| $400,000,000 | $350,000,000 | 10% |
| $350,000,000 | $300,000,000 | 20% |
| $300,000,000 | 30% |
Notwithstanding the table in this section, each employer's contribution rate calculated for the four calendar quarters of calendar year 1994 shall be increased by forty percent, instead of thirty percent, as previously indicated in the table in this section. After the forty percent increase, each employer's contribution rate for the four calendar quarters of calendar year 1994 shall be increased by adding three-tenths of one percent.
