Ending Unemployment Payments to Jobless Millionaires Act of 2023

This bill prohibits federal unemployment payments to individuals with an adjusted gross income of $1 million or more in a year. It directly affects high-income jobless workers who would otherwise qualify for unemployment compensation under federal or state programs. To enforce this, applicants must certify their income level, and the Department of Labor or Government Accountability Office can audit these certifications. The rule applies to unemployment weeks beginning after the bill's enactment date.
