SB 65 Summary

• State and political subdivisions must pay 100% of extended benefits attributable to service in their employ, rather than splitting costs with the unemployment compensation fund.

• Indian tribes and tribal units must pay 100% of extended benefits attributable to their employees, under the same terms as other employers electing to make payments in lieu of contributions.

• Nonprofit organizations continue to pay for regular and additional benefits plus one-half of extended benefits, maintaining the existing cost-sharing structure for extended benefits.

• Failure by Indian tribes or tribal units to make required payments within 90 days may result in loss of the option to pay in lieu of contributions and potential loss of coverage under the unemployment compensation system.
