What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Currently, effective for any claimant establishing an unemployment insurance benefit claim after December 31, 2011, the claimant must wait one week after becoming eligible to receive benefits before the claimant may receive benefits for a week of unemployment. The waiting period does not affect the maximum number of weeks of a claimant's benefit eligibility.
This bill deletes the one-week waiting period, thus permitting a claimant to receive benefits beginning with the first week of eligibility.
