Modifies provisions of the employment security program

This bill changes Missouri's employment security laws, affecting who can receive unemployment benefits and how the state verifies eligibility. It disqualifies claimants who voluntarily leave work without good cause, fail to seek or accept suitable work, or retire under certain conditions, while also outlining exceptions for these disqualifications. The bill also creates the "Employment Security Program Integrity Act of 2026," requiring the Division of Employment Security to use national data systems, check against incarceration and death records, verify identities, and review suspicious claims to prevent improper benefit payments.
