Allows claimants for unemployment benefits to claim an additional dependent allowance based on the number of dependents claimed in the preceding tax.
This bill amends the labor law to include a dependent allowance with unemployment benefits. Claimants who claimed dependents on their state income tax return in the preceding tax year can receive an additional allowance. The allowance is calculated as 5% of the state average weekly wage for the current benefit year, multiplied by the number of dependents claimed. The allowance is in addition to any benefits provided under existing provisions.
