What’s in it

AI summary Currently, people who lose their jobs can receive a certain amount of unemployment money for a set period of time. This bill would lower the total amount of money a person can collect during that year. It changes how much total help is available to eligible workers.1

Read the official explanation

This bill provides that the maximum total amount of unemployment benefits payable to an eligible individual during a benefit year shall not exceed times the individual’s weekly benefit amount, rather than times the weekly benefit amount as provided under current law.
