AN ACT RELATING TO LABOR AND LABOR RELATIONS -- EMPLOYMENT SECURITY

Summary

The bill revises Rhode Island’s unemployment insurance rules to let partially unemployed workers receive benefits that, together with their wages, equal the full weekly benefit rate, but not more than 150% of that rate. It also eliminates the June 30, 2026 deadline that would have ended the higher earnings limits for partial‑unemployment claimants. The changes affect anyone filing for unemployment benefits, including agricultural crew members and domestic workers.
