Bill > SB507

This bill would modify Wisconsin's unemployment insurance (UI) laws to remove existing prohibitions that prevent individuals receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) from simultaneously collecting unemployment benefits. Currently, state law prevents SSDI recipients from receiving UI benefits during the same period, effectively creating a barrier for disabled individuals seeking unemployment support. By repealing sections 108.04 (2) (h) and 108.04 (12) (f) of the state statutes, the bill would allow otherwise eligible claimants to receive both SSDI and UI benefits concurrently. This change would provide additional financial support for disabled individuals who are also unemployed, potentially helping them maintain economic stability during periods of job loss. The bill would take effect on the first Sunday following its official publication, meaning its provisions would apply to unemployment weeks starting from that date. This legislative change aims to create more flexible and supportive benefits for workers with disabilities who are experiencing unemployment.
