Unemployment Benefits Bill Becomes Law
By Gareth Evans on Tuesday, April 19th, 2011 |
Rep. Dan Leonard’s (R-Huntington) bill on unemployment insurance was signed into law by Governor Daniels.
Senate Bill 86 details the conditions that those who receive extended unemployment insurance benefits must meet.
12,000 Hoosiers who currently receive unemployment benefits will stand to benefit from the passage of the bill, through the end of 2011.
SB 86 contains procedures for drug testing recipients of unemployment insurance benefits to help police the distribution of funds.
“SB 86 takes advantage of the federal money available to fund Indiana State extended benefits and will allow unemployed Hoosiers to collect benefits through the end of 2011, while putting more strenuous efforts into drug enforcement of individuals collecting unemployment,” said Rep. Leonard.
