A bill for an act relating to the maximum amount of unemployment benefits payable during a benefit year.

Summary

The bill changes Iowa law so that an unemployed worker can receive up to 26 times their weekly benefit amount in a benefit year, instead of the current 16 times. For workers laid off because their employer shuts down, the limit rises to 39 times the weekly benefit. The change is made by adjusting how wage credits are calculated and applied.
