House Roll Call 447: Failed

The first House-Senate conference committee report, which would increase the weekly maximum unemployment benefit to $415 for the first six weeks a person is out of work, $390 for the next 10 weeks, and $360 for the final 10 weeks. The conference report includes a modified “waiting week,” however a worker who found a new job within four weeks would receive the benefit that would have been paid without the waiting week.
