Bill > HB2582

This bill amends Arizona law concerning unemployment benefits by modifying the requirements for employers participating in the shared work unemployment compensation program and the eligibility criteria for individuals receiving unemployment benefits. Specifically, it adjusts language related to the notification of employees about work hour reductions, the certification of wages for shared work plans, and the expiration of these plans, ensuring they are not more than one year from the submission date unless extended. Crucially, the bill removes the requirement for individuals to serve a one-week waiting period before receiving unemployment benefits, simplifying the eligibility process by eliminating the need to count a week of unemployment unless benefits were actually paid for that week.
