Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill changes the definition of "suitable work" for part-time workers receiving unemployment benefits. For claims filed after August 3, 2025, suitable work will be defined by the average number of hours worked weekly in the individual's base year, rather than a strict 17-hour limit. It also adds provisions for individuals unable to work full-time due to specific circumstances like illness or domestic violence.
