S.4679

Clarifies unemployment insurance benefit eligibility for adjunct faculty and sets reporting requirements for educational institutions.

The bill amends the unemployment insurance law to clarify the reasonable assurance standard for benefit eligibility of adjunct faculty members. It establishes that a rebuttable presumption exists that adjunct faculty do not have a reasonable assurance of employment if the offer is contingent on enrollment, funding, or programmatic changes. The burden is on the employer to provide documentation to overcome this presumption.
