An act relating to unemployment insurance eligibility and benefits

This bill modifies Vermont's unemployment insurance rules to help workers who earn low wages or work in non-teaching roles at educational institutions. It changes how benefits are calculated by excluding low-earning work from the earnings used to determine benefit amounts, and it expands eligibility for workers in non-instructional positions at schools during breaks between academic terms. The bill also clarifies that individuals who work in administrative or support roles at educational institutions can receive unemployment benefits during summer breaks and holidays if they have a contract to return to work in the next term. These changes aim to provide more consistent income support for workers whose employment is tied to the academic calendar or who earn wages below the threshold for full-time benefits.
