Iowa Senate approves unemployment benefits boost in Iowa
The Iowa Senate advanced a measure raising maximum unemployment benefits by 23 dollars to 163 weekly and extending eligibility to 39 weeks. The bill, costing about 11 million dollars to employers, would base benefits on two thirds of the statewide average wage and includes public employees under coverage. The plan passed 35 to 14 and moves to the House amid labor management negotiations, with bipartisan support and concerns about consumer cost impacts.

Senator Forrest Schwengels proposed reimbursing districts for pre-kindergarten costs from January to July as the school aid bill moved. The amendment narrowly lost 26 to 21, with praise from Senator Bill Hansen for Schwengels' efforts and a hope SBRC may still consider districts that started programs.
