Unlocking Benefits for Independent Workers Act ensures benefits do not affect employment status.

The Unlocking Benefits for Independent Workers Act aims to clarify that the provision of portable benefits should not influence whether an individual is considered an employee under federal law. Specifically, it states that employment status should not be determined based on benefits or protections that can be maintained independently of continued work, or those typically offered to full-time employees. This includes benefits, protections, or contributions made by the employer or the individual.
