Bill > S1116

This bill amends the unemployment compensation law to exclude wages earned by poll workers from being considered when determining an individual's eligibility for unemployment compensation benefits. Specifically, it clarifies that services performed by a temporary board worker hired by a district board of elections to carry out election duties, and who receives compensation for these duties, will not be counted as "employment" for the purposes of unemployment compensation. This change aims to ensure that individuals who serve as poll workers, often on a temporary basis for specific election events, do not have their unemployment benefits negatively impacted by the wages they earn from this civic duty.
