Missouri HB2068 modifies the employment security program by enhancing eligibility checks and disqualifying claimants under certain conditions.

Missouri HB2068 modifies the employment security program by requiring the Division of Employment Security to perform full eligibility reviews of suspicious or potentially improper claims. The bill mandates weekly checks against lists of incarcerated individuals, state death records, and the National Directory of New Hires. It also allows employers to report individuals who fail to accept job offers or attend scheduled interviews or skills tests. Claimants must accept suitable work when directed by the division or risk disqualification.
