SB 675 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: funding for identity verification under the unemployment insurance law and making an appropriation. (FE)

SB 675 amends a statute to establish biennial funding for identity verification processes under Wisconsin's unemployment insurance program, directly affecting applicants and the state's unemployment agency. It specifies that funds must cover identity proofing costs (to prevent fraud) and related expenses, with any unspent balance from odd-numbered years automatically transferred to the "unemployment program integrity fund." The bill does not change eligibility rules or benefit amounts but ensures dedicated funding for verification systems and manages leftover funds. This is a procedural funding measure focused on administrative processes, not policy changes to unemployment benefits.
