2014 SESSION
SB 18 Unemployment compensation; voluntarily leaving employment to accompany military spouse.
Introduced by: Mamie E. Locke | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Unemployment compensation; quit to follow military spouse. Provides that good cause for leaving employment exists if an employee voluntarily leaves a job to accompany the employee's spouse, who is on active duty in the military or naval services of the United States, to a new military-related assignment established pursuant to a permanent change of duty order from which the employee's place of employment is not reasonably accessible. The measure applies only if the state to which the spouse is transferred has a similar provision, unless the transfer involves members of the Virginia National Guard relocated within the Commonwealth. Benefits paid to qualifying claimants shall be charged against the pool rather than against the claimant's employer. The measure also repeals Chapter 878 of the 2009 Acts of Assembly, which is similar to this measure but did not take effect because the contingency in its third enactment was not satisfied. The measure will expire on December 31, 2020. The Virginia Employment Commission is required to report to the Commission on Unemployment Compensation regarding the effects of allowing such claimants to be eligible for unemployment benefits.
