Concerning unemployment insurance benefits for workers separated from employment as a result of employer-initiated layoffs or workforce reductions.

Summary

The bill creates a new definition of unemployment for people whose jobs end because their employer announced a layoff or reduction in force in writing. To qualify, the employee must have volunteered to be part of the layoff and then been terminated under that plan. The change aims to protect workers who lose jobs through employer‑driven cuts and ensure they can receive benefits.
