What the source says
The taxable wage base is the maximum amount of an employee’s gross wages that can be taxed in a calendar year. The employer is required to pay UI tax for each employee, based on the assigned taxable wage base for that calendar year. The taxable wage base can be increased by $1,000 or decreased by $500 for any year, depending on the average balance of the Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund of the four preceding calendar quarters. In no event shall the state taxable wage base increase beyond $13,000, or decrease to less than $7,000. See Section 288.036(2) RSMo.
