Unemployment insurance coverage period and reporting.
This bill reduces Wyoming's maximum unemployment benefit period from 26 weeks to 13 weeks for claims filed on or after July 1, 2023. It directly affects workers who file for unemployment benefits after that date, limiting their total benefit duration. Key provisions amend sections of the unemployment law to change the maximum payment calculation (from 26 to 13 weeks) and update the commission name to "unemployment re-employment insurance commission." The law takes effect July 1, 2023, with no retroactive application.
