SUI Board Bills Benefit Changes
Sacramento reports that the State Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board rejected a proposal from the Department of Employment to let private disability insurers alter plans without policyholder consent. Opponents argued the change could allow refusals to pay benefits during labor disputes. The amendment targeted changes affecting no more than 15 percent of employees, but could be extended daily until all were affected, said Michael B. Kunz, the appeals board chairman.
