For legislation to protect unemployment benefits for furloughed federal employees. Labor and Workforce Development.
AI Summary
This bill aims to protect the unemployment benefits of furloughed federal employees during the government shutdown that began on December 22, 2018. Specifically, it waives the one-week waiting period for total or partial unemployment benefits and exempts federal employees from having to return unemployment benefits they received if they later receive back pay. These provisions are designed to ensure that federal workers impacted by the government shutdown can access unemployment benefits without undue delays or burdens.
