	relating to the amount of a chargeback for unemployment
	compensation benefits paid to a person who is partially unemployed.
	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
	SECTION 1. Section 204.022, Labor Code, is amended by
	adding Subsection (a-1) to read as follows:
	(a-1) Benefits computed on benefit wage credits of an
	employee may not be charged to the account of an employer if the
	employee continued to work the employee's customary hours for the
	employer when the employee's benefit year began. This subsection

	governed by the law in effect on the date the claim was filed, and
	the former law is continued in effect for that purpose.
	SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2013.
