Bill > A1516

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 modifies the definition of "employment" to exempt services performed by a temporary board worker hired by a district board of elections who receives compensation for their election duties. This means that income received for working as a poll worker will not reduce or disqualify an individual from receiving unemployment benefits they are otherwise entitled to.
