UC rates are generally assessed on ‘experienced’ UC costs to the state - at least in my state. The less ‘experienced’ claimant costs, the lower the rate....
Why do you persist in defending this? Did your State tax anyone based upon the expectation paying them "benefits" for two and a half YEARS? Were these taxes based upon 10% or more unemployment rates? Nearly ALL of this is being funded by the Federal government which just prints the money. The Feds collect no unemployment taxes so far as I know.
