New Hampshire HB1767 adjusts unemployment compensation eligibility and weekly benefit amounts based on statewide unemployment claims.

New Hampshire HB1767 modifies the maximum number of weeks an individual can receive unemployment compensation benefits. The bill sets the maximum at 20 weeks in a benefit year. However, if the number of weekly unemployment claims exceeds 4,000 for three consecutive weeks, the maximum increases to 26 weeks. If claims drop back to 4,000 or less for three consecutive weeks, the maximum reverts to 20 weeks. The Department of Employment Security is tasked with monitoring these claims, notifying the public of any changes, and updating relevant materials and systems.
