Bill > SB1609

This bill modifies provisions related to unemployment benefits, primarily by altering eligibility requirements and clarifying existing rules. Key changes include allowing substitute teachers and individuals on jury duty to be considered available for work, and providing exceptions for those participating in approved training programs or temporarily unemployed with a definite recall date. It also updates requirements for reporting to employment offices, introduces mandatory participation in reemployment services for those likely to exhaust benefits, and clarifies that individuals participating in a strike or labor dispute are not automatically ineligible for benefits unless they are actively involved in financing or directly interested in the dispute, with specific exceptions for employees who initiated a strike. Additionally, the bill addresses how certain payments like pensions and disability compensation affect benefit eligibility and clarifies rules for aliens receiving benefits.
