What’s in it
_____ This bill strikes language requiring the director of the department of workforce development to recompute wage credits for purposes of calculating an individual’s maximum total amount of unemployment benefits payable during a benefit year. The stricken language applied to an individual who is laid off due to the individual’s employer going out of business at the factory, establishment, or other premises at which the individual was last employed by crediting the individual’s account with one-half, instead of one-third, of the wages for insured work paid to the individual during the individual’s base period.

The bill applies to any week of unemployment benefits beginning on or after the first Sunday after the effective date of the bill.
