Report Favors Unemployment Board In Virginia Plan
A proposed Virginia unemployment law would create a board appointed by the governor to run benefits. The bill includes an 18 percent payroll tax on employers for 1936 1937 and 2.7 percent thereafter with no employee contributions. Benefits would start after a three week waiting period and vary by prior employment length up to 14 weeks, with a 50 percent wage replacement cap and a $15 weekly maximum. The plan seeks federal grants and allows governorial executive action if federal rules change.
