Amends existing law to revise benefit formula provisions.

This legislation modifies the maximum duration of regular unemployment benefits and simplifies the existing complex benefit duration formula. Current law uses two variables to determine whether an unemployment claimantiseligibleforbetween10and26weeksofbenefits. Thislegislationproposesthatforpart-timeworkers a flat maximum of 10 weeks of benefits should be available, and for full-time workers a flat maximum of 14 weeks of benefits should be available. Furthermore, this bill allows for "attached" employees, or seasonal employees, to be eligible for an additional 6 weeks of benefits. This will help address the ongoing worker shortage in Idaho promoting a faster return to work for recently unemployed workers.
