A bill for an act relating to disqualification for unemployment benefits for other compensation received and including applicability provisions.

This Iowa bill expands unemployment benefit disqualification to include any "remuneration in connection with separation from employment" (like severance pay or separation allowances), beyond current law. If a worker receives such a payment exceeding their weekly benefit amount, future benefits are reduced until the total payment amount is covered. Exceptions apply: military disability compensation and Social Security pensions do not affect eligibility or reduce benefits. The change applies to separation payments received on or after the bill's effective date.
