MODERATE
The bill was amended to change its title from the 'Grant Accountability and Transparency Act' to the 'Unemployment Insurance Act,' shifting its focus from federal grant compliance to state unemployment benefits. The text was replaced with specific definitions and formulas for calculating weekly benefit amounts and wage averages, including a new provision for benefit years starting between 2027 and 2028.
Scope change
The bill's scope changed from regulating state and federal grant programs to regulating the Unemployment Insurance Act.
SCOPE
The bill title and subject matter were changed from the Grant Accountability and Transparency Act to the Unemployment Insurance Act.
DEFINITION
New definitions were added for terms such as 'prior average weekly wage,' 'determination date,' 'benefit period,' and 'gross wages' to clarify how unemployment benefits are calculated.
All definitions related to federal grants, such as 'allowable cost,' 'auditee,' and 'assistance listings,' were removed as they no longer apply to the Unemployment Insurance Act.
FISCAL
The formula for calculating weekly benefit amounts was updated, including a new rule for benefit years beginning on or after January 1, 2027, which sets the benefit at 40.6% of the prior average weekly wage.
