Senate Substitute

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

Under current law, the Division of Employment Security may contract with consumer reporting agencies to provide employing units with a secure means to provide quarterly wage reports to the division. This substitute requires such a contract.

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).
