Current Bill Summary

SS/SCS/HCS/HB 163 - This act allows the state to continue to receive extended federal unemployment benefit funds until August 28, 2013.

Currently, the maximum total amount of benefits payable to worker during a benefit year shall not exceed the lesser of 26 times the weekly benefit amount or 33 1/3% of his or her wage credits. This act changes that threshold to the lesser of 20 times the weekly benefit amount or 33 1/3% of his or her wage credits.

Claimants are denied unemployment benefits for any week the claimant has an outstanding overpayment penalty.

This act contains an emergency clause.

This act is similar to SB 1026 (2010), and SB 10 (2011).
