Rhode Island H7962 removes the expiration date on increased earnings limits for partial unemployment benefits.
Rhode Island H7962 eliminates the sunset provision that would have ended the increased earnings limit for partial unemployment benefits on June 30, 2026. This change means that the higher earnings limit, which allows partial-unemployment insurance claimants to earn more before being disqualified for benefits, will remain in effect indefinitely. The bill also removes the sunset on the increased amount of earnings disregarded when calculating a weekly benefit rate. This act takes effect upon passage.
