Bill > SB5540

This bill repeals RCW 50.20.095, which was a previous statute that governed students' disqualification from receiving unemployment insurance (UI) benefits while attending school or an institution of higher education. By removing this specific law, the bill appears to be eliminating previous restrictions that may have prevented students from accessing unemployment benefits. The repeal suggests a potential expansion of UI eligibility for students, potentially making it easier for them to receive unemployment compensation during periods when they are not in school or have experienced job loss. Without additional context from the full bill text, the summary is based on the limited information provided in the XML fragment, which focuses solely on the repeal of the existing statute related to student unemployment insurance eligibility.
