S.3379

Allows states to use up to 20% of grant funds or $3 million for early reemployment services for unemployment claimants.

The Expedited Access to Reemployment Learning Yields Benefits for Workers Act, also known as the EARLY Benefits for Workers Act, amends title III of the Social Security Act to provide flexibility in grants for reemployment services and eligibility assessments. States can use up to 20% of grant funds or $3 million to offer reemployment services and eligibility assessment tools to claimants as soon as they file an initial claim for regular compensation. States are not required to return these funds if the claimant is later found ineligible.
