Bill Summary
Hire Just One Act of 2013 - Amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow states, for a 120-day period beginning on the enactment date of this Act, to implement an employment assistance voucher program, in lieu of paying unemployment compensation directly to employees, under which an eligible individual is issued an employment assistance voucher and is hired by a participating employer who receives a subsidy from the state for the wages paid to the employee. Defines an "eligible employee" as an individual who has been unemployed for at least six months, who is eligible for unemployment compensation, and who is likely to exhaust such compensation. Requires a state program issuing employment assistance vouchers to have in effect measures to recoup subsidies made to an employer if such employer has terminated more employees during the 120-day period than such employer has hired under the program.
AI Summary
This bill, the Hire Just One Act of 2013, allows states for a 120-day period after its enactment to offer an employment assistance voucher program as an alternative to directly paying unemployment compensation to eligible individuals. An "eligible individual" is defined as someone who has been unemployed for at least six months, qualifies for unemployment benefits, and is likely to exhaust those benefits. Under this program, eligible individuals would receive an employment assistance voucher, and if hired by a participating employer, the employer would receive a subsidy from the state for the wages paid. To prevent abuse, state programs must have measures in place to recover subsidies from employers who terminate more employees during this 120-day period than they hire through the voucher program.
