Iowa House bill proposed by Rep. Robert Naden would tighten eligibility for unemployment compensation under the state family plan. It disqualifies claimants who move to areas with poorer job prospects, raises base period earnings minimum to 300 dollars in the top quarter, and requires staying 10 weeks in a new job to avoid disqualification.
The text outlines proposed and existing unemployment law provisions for disqualification durations tied to misconduct and family status. It defines principal support of a family as the family's sole support excluding a child's earnings, and notes a stricter subsection penalizing dishonesty with potential deeming of payments as not accepted in good faith. It also details weekly benefit amounts ranging from 32 dollars for singles to 44 dollars with four or more children.
