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 claimant is eligible for between 10 and 26 weeks of benefits. This legislation establishes a maximum of 10 weeks of benefits for part-time workers, and 14 weeks of benefits for full-time workers. Additionally, for full-time workers who are job attached and seasonally unemployed, an additional 2 weeks of benefits is available (for a total of 16 weeks of benefits for job attached full-time workers waiting to be recalled to work). The additional 2 weeks of benefits are not available for part-time workers. Reducing the maximum duration of unemployment benefits will promote faster re-employment for unemployed workers and help address the ongoing worker shortage in Idaho.
