Ending Unemployment Payments to Jobless Millionaires Act of 2023
S 3523 prohibits federal unemployment payments to individuals with an adjusted gross income of $1 million or more in a given year. It directly affects high-income earners who might otherwise qualify for unemployment benefits, regardless of their current employment status. The bill requires applicants to certify they do not meet the income threshold and mandates that these certifications be auditable by the Department of Labor or the Government Accountability Office. The rule applies to unemployment weeks beginning after the bill's enactment date.
