AI Summary
This bill transfers the functions of the Reemployment Assistance Appeals Commission (RAAC), which handles appeals related to unemployment benefits, to the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO). The DEO will be required to establish regional appeal offices at each regional workforce board, and the tax collection service provider will calculate an additional rate to cover interest on federal advances to the Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund, with any excess funds being transferred to the trust fund after a certain period. The bill also makes changes to how appeals are handled, replacing the RAAC with "review panels" within the regional workforce boards, and clarifies various procedures and definitions related to reemployment assistance.
