UI/Give Enhanced Benefits During Disasters

Introduced·4/10/25

North Carolina H960 increases unemployment insurance weekly benefits to $600 during declared disasters.

North Carolina H960 amends the state's unemployment insurance laws to temporarily increase the maximum weekly benefit amount to $600 during periods when a disaster has been declared under the Emergency Management Act. The bill also requires the Division of Employment Security to earmark funds within the Unemployment Insurance Fund as a reserve dedicated to funding these enhanced benefits. If the Division determines that funds are insufficient, the temporary enhancement will not take effect unless the General Assembly enacts the necessary legislation.
