What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, in any week in any month that a claimant is receiving a benefit under the federal Social Security Disability Insurance program, that claimant is ineligible for unemployment insurance benefits. This bill repeals that prohibition and allows an otherwise eligible claimant to receive both federal Social Security Disability Insurance benefits and unemployment insurance benefits for the same period.
