Unemployment Pension Bill Set for Hearing in State Legislature
The Joint State Government Commission plans three bills to widen unemployment benefits in Pennsylvania. Proposals include lowering minimum yearly earnings to qualify, raising the weekly benefit, and simplifying payments to let unemployed workers know exactly what they are entitled to. Debates on employer tax reductions feature merits based on constant payrolls versus uniform cuts. Pennsylvania’s 2 percent tax funds the system, with 27 percent paid to the federal government for admin. Current data show eligible unemployed individuals received about $15 a week for eight weeks.
