Summary

Existing law provides for unemployment compensation benefits to eligible individuals who are unemployed through no fault of their own. Existing law authorizes any employer who is entitled to receive specified notice of an unemployment claim, to, within 10 days after mailing of the notice, submit to the Employment Development Department specified facts disclosing whether the claimant for benefits left the employer's employ voluntarily and with good cause under certain circumstances, including, among other things, that the claimant left the employer's employ to protect his or her children or himself or herself from domestic violence abuse. This bill would revise various provisions governing eligibility for unemployment compensation benefits to specify that a claimant is eligible for benefits where he or she left an employer's employ to protect his or her family from domestic violence abuse. By increasing the number of persons who may be eligible to receive unemployment compensation benefits, thereby providing for increased amounts payable from the Unemployment Insurance Fund, the bill would make an appropriation. Existing law requires the department, upon the filing of a new claim for benefits, to promptly make a computation regarding the maximum amount of benefits payable, and to promptly notify the claimant of the computation. This bill would also require the department to promptly notify the claimant of the method of computation. Existing law requires, whenever any warrant drawn on an account in the Unemployment Fund, the Unemployment Administration Fund, the Contingent Fund, or the Disability Fund by the Controller remains unclaimed after 3 years, that amount reverts to the account and the fund from which the amount was payable. This bill would reduce that time period for reversion of those amounts to one year. Existing law requires the department to administer specified provisions related to leisure sharing, to become operative upon the date that any federal or other funds are received, and specifies that those provisions shall remain in effect for a period of 3 years after that date. This bill would repeal those laws related to leisure sharing. This bill would incorporate additional changes in Sections 1030, 1032, and 1256 of the Unemployment Insurance Code, proposed by AB 2055, to be operative only if AB 2055 and this bill are both chaptered and become effective on or before January 1, 2011, and this bill is chaptered last.
