Bill Summary

Relating to the maximum amount of unemployment benefits payable to an individual during a benefit year under the state unemployment insurance program.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Texas Labor Code to establish a sliding scale for the maximum amount of unemployment benefits payable to an individual during a benefit year. The maximum benefits are tied to the state's average unemployment rate, ranging from 12 times the individual's benefit amount when the rate is 5.5% or less, up to 27 times the benefit amount when the rate exceeds 10%. The bill also makes a technical change to reference the new Section 207.0055 regarding the maximum benefits. The changes apply to claims filed on or after January 1, 2024, and Section 207.005 of the Labor Code is repealed.
