HF 29: Establishing a diminished salary offset for unemployment benefits

What it does

This bill establishes a diminished salary offset for unemployment benefits whereby an individual who accepts employment with a gross weekly salary less than the individual’s weekly unemployment benefit amount may receive an amount equal to the difference between the individual’s gross weekly salary and the individual’s weekly benefit amount if the individual accepts such employment prior to exhausting the individual’s benefits for the individual’s benefit year. The individual’s benefits shall be exhausted when the individual’s gross weekly salary paid plus benefits received are equal to or greater than the maximum total amount of benefits payable to the individual during the benefit year.
