Bill > HB437

This bill aims to eliminate the one-week waiting period that individuals must typically serve before receiving unemployment benefits, meaning people will be eligible for benefits from the first week they are unemployed and qualify. It also makes conforming changes to other sections of the law, such as KRS 341.090, which defines terms like "base period" and "benefit year" for unemployment insurance. The bill's primary goal is to provide financial assistance to unemployed workers more quickly.
