Unemployment insurance benefits: disqualifications: convictions.

Existing law provides the forfeiture of, and ineligibility for, unemployment insurance benefits for certain time periods for any individual convicted under a specified provision in a court of competent jurisdiction of willfully making a false statement or knowingly failing to disclose a material fact to obtain or increase any benefit or payment under unemployment and disability compensation laws. This bill would additionally provide for the forfeiture of, and ineligibility for, unemployment insurance benefits for certain time periods for any individual convicted under specified forgery, grand theft, and false claims provisions in state law or a federal mail fraud provision for those acts or omissions. This bill would require a court of this state to report convictions of those state laws to the Employment Development Department.
