Critics Clash Over New Unemployment Overhaul
Critics charge the unemployment overhaul will burden struggling families while proponents defend the plan as necessary to cap state spending and reduce debt.
State outlines changes to unemployment benefits
The plan details the weekly unemployment compensation for 26 weeks and 12 to 20 weeks limits, noting the previous maximums and the new maximums effective July 1. It also mentions the state's $ billions owed to the federal government for jobless benefit payments since the Great Recession.
North Carolina Unemployment Overhaul Cuts Benefits And Starts Debt Repayment
Pat McCrory signed a bill to shorten unemployment benefits reducing support for jobless workers and accelerating repayment of the $2.5 billion federal debt since 2008. The move shifts cost to businesses via higher unemployment insurance taxes and aims to build a reserve ahead of a potential recession, though critics warn it harms the unemployed and their households.

Cuts to unemployment benefits shrink weekly pay
Unemployed workers face a reduction in weekly benefits from a maximum of 535 to 350 dollars. The 12 to 20 week duration will vary by state unemployment rates at the time of filing, affecting how long benefits last.
Unemployment Benefit Formula Overhaul Takes Effect July First
The state will switch from using the highest of the last five quarters divided by 26 to a new method averaging the last two quarters worked. Claimants filing after July 1 will be subject to the updated calculation, per N C Division of Employment Security spokesman Larry Parker.
