Unemployment compensation; revise weekly benefit amount for.

HB 147 revises Mississippi's minimum weekly unemployment compensation benefits based on prior earnings. It sets new minimum weekly amounts: $250 for workers earning $25,000 or less annually, $500 for $25,001-$50,000, $650 for $50,001-$75,000, $750 for $75,001-$100,000, and $1,000 for earnings over $100,000. These changes apply to individuals receiving benefits starting July 1, 2026, and directly affect unemployed Mississippi workers qualifying for state unemployment compensation. The bill modifies Section 71-5-503 of Mississippi Code to establish these revised minimums, while Section 71-5-505 remains unchanged for now.
