SB 359 Unemployment compensation; provides benefits based on service in employ of an Indian tribe.
Introduced by: John C. Watkins | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Unemployment compensation; Indian tribes. Provides that unemployment compensation benefits based on service in the employ of an Indian tribe are payable to the same extent as benefits payable to other employees covered by the Virginia Unemployment Compensation Act. The measure provides Indian tribes with the option to make reimbursement payments to the unemployment trust fund, in lieu of tax payments, to the same extent currently allowed for local governments. If an Indian tribe fails to make required payments, the tribe will become liable for the FUTA tax and the Virginia Employment Commission may remove tribal services from unemployment coverage. HB 96 is identical.
