HB 6 Wyoming House · 2026 Regular Session

Unemployment insurance coverage-period and reporting.

HB 6 reduces the maximum weekly unemployment benefits for eligible claimants in Wyoming. It amends the benefit calculation to cap payments at 20 times a person's weekly benefit amount (down from 26 times) or 30% of their base-period wages, whichever is lower. The bill affects individuals filing unemployment claims on or after January 1, 2027, and renames the oversight body to the "unemployment reemployment insurance commission." It also allocates $18,000 for system updates through June 2027, with all provisions effective January 1, 2027, except the funding section, which takes effect immediately.
