Bill > S1797

This bill, the Emergency Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2013, extends various unemployment benefit programs and related provisions. Specifically, it pushes back the expiration date for the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program from January 1, 2014, to January 1, 2015, and also extends the temporary provisions for extended unemployment benefits, including those related to matching for states with no waiting week and modifications to indicators under the Extended Benefit Program, from their original end dates in 2013 and 2014 to December 31, 2014, and June 30, 2015, respectively. Additionally, it extends funding for reemployment services and eligibility assessment activities through fiscal year 2015 and provides for additional extended unemployment benefits under the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, with a specific appropriation for administrative expenses. The bill also allows states whose agreements for emergency unemployment compensation were terminated in 2013 to enter into subsequent agreements.
