Revise laws relating to unemployment insurance program collection rates and uses
This bill updates Montana's unemployment insurance program by requiring the state to use databases to verify applicant identities and cross-check records against prison, jail, and new hire lists on a weekly basis. It also creates a lower tax schedule for employers with better unemployment insurance experience ratings and allows penalty and interest money to be carried forward across fiscal years. Additionally, the bill permits limited disclosure of motor vehicle records to help verify eligibility for unemployment benefits. These changes aim to improve program integrity and adjust how employers contribute to the unemployment insurance fund.
