Texas HB3699 amends the definition of "last work" and "person for whom the claimant last worked" in the unemployment compensation system.

Texas HB3699 modifies the Labor Code to redefine "last work" and "person for whom the claimant last worked" in the context of unemployment compensation claims. Specifically, it states that "last work" refers to the last person or employer for whom the claimant worked at least 30 hours in a week. The Texas Workforce Commission must mail a notice of the initial claim to the correct address of the person, branch, or division for which the claimant last worked. This change applies only to claims filed after the effective date of the Act, which is January 1, 2026.
