What’s in it

This bill relates to claims for unemployment insurance benefits. The bill requires an individual to perform a minimum of four work search activities, and document and report each activity to the department of workforce development, each week in order to be eligible for unemployment benefits for the week. The bill specifies work search activities that satisfy these requirements. The bill requires the department to verify the identity of a claimant before payment of unemployment benefits to the claimant. The bill also requires the department to use multi-factor authentication to verify the identity of any claimant submitting a claim for benefits through an internet site or online portal. These verifications are required at least once per benefit year. The bill takes effect January 1, 2025.
