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

Summary

The bill limits the total unemployment benefits an individual can receive in a benefit year to the lesser of their earned wage credits or 26 times their weekly benefit amount. If a worker is laid off because their employer closes, the cap rises to 39 times the weekly benefit, still limited by wage credits. It also modifies how wage credits are calculated for those closure layoffs.
