What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
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.
