Any unemployment insurance gurus out there?
Permalink Closed


This is a shot in the dark... Anyone know where in the Unemployment Insurance Modernization Act of 2009 it addresses the discrimination towards women? Anyone?

p.s. the last two weeks of this semester may just kill me!!! (not only do I have seven, yes, SEVEN research papers, three presentations and 4 cumulative finals, but my lovely boss(who happens to be a STAY AT HOME MOTHER, can't find it in her schedule to take care of her children all on her own. Oh yeah...my sisters wedding, which I am in, is the Saturday before finals. Fuuuu*k

What do you mean "discrimination towards women"? What are you specifically looking for?

(this is posting funny - take a look at the actual bill) I think this is the portion of the bill you need to look at for your answer http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h290/text:

‘(3) The State law of a State meets the requirements of this paragraph if such State law includes provisions to carry out at least 2 of the following subparagraphs:

 

  •  
    •  
    • ‘(i) Domestic violence, verified by such reasonable and confidential documentation as the State law may require, which causes the individual reasonably to believe that such individual’s continued employment would jeopardize the safety of the individual or of any member of the individual’s immediate family (as defined by the Secretary of Labor).

       

      ‘(ii) The illness or disability of a member of the individual’s immediate family (as defined by the Secretary of Labor).

       

      ‘(iii) The need for the individual to accompany such individual’s spouse--

       

  • ‘(A) An individual shall not be denied regular unemployment compensation under any State law provisions relating to availability for work, active search for work, or refusal to accept work, solely because such individual is seeking only part-time (and not full-time) work, except that the State law provisions carrying out this subparagraph may exclude an individual if a majority of the weeks of work in such individual’s base period do not include part-time work.

     

    ‘(B) An individual shall not be disqualified from regular unemployment compensation for separating from employment if that separation is for any compelling family reason. For purposes of this subparagraph, the term ‘compelling family reason’ means the following:

     

    ‘(C) Weekly unemployment compensation is payable under this subparagraph to any individual who is unemployed (as determined under the State unemployment compensation law), has exhausted all rights to regular unemployment compensation under the State law, and is enrolled and making satisfactory progress in a State-approved training program or in a job training program authorized under the Workforce Investment Act of 1998. Such programs shall prepare individuals who have been separated from a declining occupation, or who have been involuntarily and indefinitely separated from employment as a result of a permanent reduction of operations at the individual’s place of employment, for entry into a high-demand occupation. The amount of unemployment compensation payable under this subparagraph to an individual for a week of unemployment shall be equal to the individual’s average weekly benefit amount (including dependents’ allowances) for the most recent benefit year, and the total amount of unemployment compensation payable under this subparagraph to any individual shall be equal to at least 26 times the individual’s average weekly benefit amount (including dependents’ allowances) for the most recent benefit year.

     

    ‘(D) Dependents’ allowances are provided, in the case of any individual who is entitled to receive regular unemployment compensation and who has any dependents (as defined by State law), in an amount equal to at least $15 per dependent per week, subject to any aggregate limitation on such allowances which the State law may establish (but which aggregate limitation on the total allowance for dependents paid to an individual may not be less than $50 for each week of unemployment or 50 percent of the individual’s weekly benefit amount for the benefit year, whichever is less).‘(3) The State law of a State meets the requirements of this paragraph if such State law includes provisions to carry out at least 2 of the following subparagraphs:
