Read the official explanation
This bill relates to pandemic emergency unemployment compensation as authorized by the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). The bill requires the department of workforce development to determine, as provided in the CARES Act, that repayment of pandemic emergency unemployment compensation by any individual who received such compensation to which the individual was not entitled without fault on the part of the individual is, in all cases, contrary to equity and good conscience and waive repayment of such compensation. The bill takes effect upon enactment and applies retroactively to pandemic emergency unemployment compensation paid by the department on or after March 27, 2020.
