Introduced by: Robert Tata | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Unemployment compensation; quit to follow military spouse.  Provides that good cause for leaving employment exists if an employee voluntarily leaves a job to accompany his spouse, who is an enlisted person on active duty in the military or naval services of the United States, to a new military assignment (i) from which the employee's place of employment is not reasonably accessible, and (ii) which is located in a state that, pursuant to statute, does not deem a person accompanying a military spouse as a person leaving work voluntarily without good cause. Benefits paid to qualifying claimants shall be charged against the pool rather than against the claimant's employer. The provisions of this bill shall expire on July 1, 2007.
