A bill for an act relating to the maximum amount of unemployment benefits payable during a benefit year.

HF 2267 adjusts Iowa's unemployment benefit limits. It increases the maximum total benefits for most claimants from 16 to 26 times their weekly benefit amount during a benefit year. For workers laid off due to their employer closing permanently, it raises the cap from 26 to 39 times the weekly amount. Benefits are calculated based on previous earnings, with special rules applying to business closures. This bill directly affects Iowa workers filing for unemployment benefits.
