EMPLOYMENT SECURITY LAW -- Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding benefit entitlement such that the duration of unemployment benefits will vary depending on the unemployment rate.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing Employment Security Law to revise the provisions regarding unemployment benefit entitlement. The key changes are: (1) The duration of unemployment benefits will now vary depending on the average unemployment rate in the state, with the number of benefit weeks ranging from 12 to 20 weeks based on the unemployment rate. (2) The previous complex sliding scale formula for determining the number of benefit weeks has been replaced with a simpler, more straightforward approach tied directly to the unemployment rate. (3) The bill also includes a provision to publish the annual average unemployment rate and the corresponding maximum number of benefit weeks on the Idaho Department of Labor's website.
