This bill died with 2023-2024 Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

Vetoed by Governor Tony Evers (Democratic) on August 04, 2023.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Plain-language change summary

The recent amendments to AB 149 introduce new requirements for individuals applying for unemployment benefits in Wisconsin. Notably, the bill now allows employers to report when a job candidate declines an interview, fails to respond to a job offer, or does not attend a scheduled interview, which could impact the candidate's eligibility for benefits. Additionally, if a claimant is determined to be unavailable for work, they could lose their benefits for that week. These changes aim to tighten the eligibility criteria for unemployment benefits and encourage individuals to actively pursue available job opportunities.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau This bill makes various changes regarding the unemployment insurance (UI) law, which is administered by the Department of Workforce Development.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in 108.04(2) (ae) 1.
Suitable work;
In determining whether a claimant senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
work search Current law requires that, as a condition of being eligible for UI benefits for a given week, a claimant must 1) be able to work and available for work;
is available for work under par.
2) register for work in the manner prescribed by DWD;
(a) 1.
and 3) conduct a reasonable search for suitable work.
and has maintained an attachment to the labor market, the department shall SECTION 1.
Separately, current law also makes a claimant ineligible for UI benefits if a claimant fails, without good cause, to accept suitable work when offered.
The bill provides that an employer may report to DWD whenever 1) an individual declines a job interview or job offer;
2) an individual fails to respond to a job interview offer or job offer;
3) an individual fails to attend a scheduled job interview without attempting to reschedule the job interview;
4) a UI claimant is unavailable for, or unable to perform, work actually available within a given week;
or 5) under certain circumstances, the employer recalls a former employee receiving - 2024 Legislature - 2 - LRB-2178/1 MED:amn ASSEMBLY BILL 149 UI benefits who fails to return to work.
The bill requires DWD to consider these reports in determining claimants' attachment to the labor market.
The bill also provides that a UI claimant is not considered to have conducted a reasonable search for suitable work in a given week, and is therefore ineligible for benefits for that week, if the claimant had one or more credible reports without good cause of declining a job interview, failing to respond to a job interview offer, or failing to attend a job interview in that week.
The bill, however, provides that the first such credible report is to be disregarded and allows subsequent reports to be disregarded upon certain showings by a claimant.
The bill requires DWD to investigate each such report as needed to determine its effect on claimants' eligibility for benefits.
The bill requires DWD to include information on reports submitted by employers under the bill in its annual UI fraud report made to the Council on Unemployment Insurance, including actions taken by DWD in response to the reports and their effect on claimants' eligibility for benefits.
In addition, the bill requires that this annual fraud report be submitted to the appropriate standing committees of the legislature.
The bill requires DWD to have in effect methods to address any circumstances in which a claimant for UI benefits fails to return to work or to accept suitable work without good cause or is unavailable for work or unable to work, including reporting methods for employers and a notice from DWD to claimants about the laws governing such circumstances.
Recovery of overpayments Current law allows DWD to act to recover overpayments in certain circumstances and allows overpayments to be required to be repaid in cases where an individual makes misrepresentations to obtain benefits in the name of another person.
This bill makes such recoveries mandatory, instead of permissive.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
