Urges Congress to exempt unemployment insurance and certain leave benefits from federal taxation.

This New Jersey Senate resolution (SR 36) urges Congress to exempt unemployment insurance benefits and two types of disability leave benefits (family temporary disability leave and temporary disability leave) from federal taxation. It directly affects individuals receiving these benefits during unemployment, illness, injury, or caregiving for a family member, who currently face federal tax burdens on income they rely on during financial hardship. The resolution argues taxing these benefits worsens financial strain on vulnerable people already managing limited incomes. As a non-binding resolution, it does not change tax law but calls on federal lawmakers to act.
