Bill > HB1878

This bill amends the Texas Labor Code to create a sliding scale for the maximum amount of unemployment benefits payable to an individual during a benefit year, based on the state's average unemployment rate. The maximum benefit amount ranges from 12 to 20 times the individual's regular benefit amount, depending on the state's unemployment rate. The bill also repeals an existing section of the Labor Code and specifies that the changes apply only to claims filed on or after the effective date of January 1, 2024.
