What it does
This bill relates to unemployment benefits. The bill strikes language providing that an eligible individual’s maximum weekly benefit amount varies with the number of the individual’s dependents. The bill instead provides that an individual with dependents will have a weekly benefit amount of 1/22 the individual’s highest gross quarterly salary during the individual’s base period, subject to a maximum of percent of the statewide average weekly wage. The bill provides that the maximum weekly benefit amount for unemployment benefits shall be rounded to the upper multiple of $1, rather than the lower multiple as provided under current law.
