LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1992, as introduced, Chen.
Unemployment insurance: policies and practices: report.
Existing unemployment insurance law requires the Employment Development Department to pay unemployment compensation benefits to unemployed individuals meeting specified requirements. Existing law requires the Director of Employment Development to periodically review policies and practices used to determine eligibility for and the amount of benefits in the unemployment insurance program, as specified. Existing law required the director to report to the Legislature the results of the first review on or before July 1, 2015, and authorized the submission of subsequent reports.
This bill would require the Director of Employment Development to report the results of the review on or before January 1, 2024, and submit subsequent reports every 2 years thereafter.
