Unemployment Compensation - As enacted, removes a requirement that work be deemed suitable for a claimant if certain criteria are met and a claimant's gross weekly wages equal or exceed certain threshold percentages of the claimant's weekly wage for insured work for the quarter of the base period when the claimant's wages were greatest. - Amends TCA Section 50-7-303.

Summary

SB 1874 deletes the rule that a claimant’s job must pay a certain percentage of their average insured wages to be considered suitable work. This change simplifies the eligibility test for unemployment compensation, affecting claimants who are offered lower‑paying jobs and the agencies that process their claims.
