Bill Summary
Amending the act of December 5, 1936 (2nd Sp.Sess., 1937 P.L.2897, No.1), entitled "An act establishing a system of unemployment compensation to be administered by the Department of Labor and Industry and its existing and newly created agencies with personnel (with certain exceptions) selected on a civil service basis; requiring employers to keep records and make reports, and certain employers to pay contributions based on payrolls to provide moneys for the payment of compensation to certain unemployed persons; providing procedure and administrative details for the determination, payment and collection of such contributions and the payment of such compensation; providing for cooperation with the Federal Government and its agencies; creating certain special funds in the custody of the State Treasurer; and prescribing penalties," in compensation, further providing for qualifications required to secure compensation.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Unemployment Compensation Law to require claimants to report certain types of benefits to the unemployment department when seeking compensation. Specifically, claimants must disclose: (1) workers' compensation disability benefits, (2) Social Security disability insurance payments, (3) private insurance disability benefits, and (4) unpaid leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act. These disclosures will help the department determine a claimant's eligibility for unemployment compensation. The bill requires claimants to provide these details along with any additional information requested by the unemployment department. By mandating these disclosures, the legislation aims to ensure a more comprehensive assessment of an individual's employment and financial status when they apply for unemployment benefits. The changes will take effect six months after the bill is signed into law, giving employers and the unemployment department time to prepare for the new reporting requirements.
