Bill > HR1091

This bill, the Flexibility to Promote Reemployment Act, authorizes the Department of Labor to enter into agreements with up to 10 states per year (previously 10 states total) to conduct reemployment demonstration projects. The bill clarifies that a governor's designee may apply for such a project, and extends the allowable project period through December 31, 2021. The bill also allows demonstration projects to include disbursements promoting retention to employers who hire individuals receiving unemployment compensation. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary of Labor to conduct impact evaluations of each demonstration project and report on the results to Congress, with the goal of incorporating successful strategies into federal unemployment law.
