Bill > HB06518

This bill proposes to modify Connecticut's unemployment benefits law by changing how employers are charged for unemployment benefit payments. Specifically, the bill would ensure that only an employee's most recent employer will be held responsible for unemployment benefit payments, regardless of how long the employee worked for that employer. Under the current law, multiple employers might have been charged for an employee's unemployment benefits based on their work history, but this new legislation would simplify the process by making the most recent employer solely accountable. This change could potentially impact how employers manage their unemployment insurance experience accounts, as they would now only be charged for benefits related to their most recently employed worker, even if that employment was relatively short-term. The bill aims to streamline the unemployment benefits charging process and potentially provide more predictability for employers in terms of their unemployment insurance costs.
