Relating to: funding for identity verification under the unemployment insurance law and making an appropriation. (FE)

AB 650 amends state law to require that unused funds for identity verification in unemployment claims - specifically for costs not covered by federal funding - be transferred biennially to the unemployment program integrity fund. This affects the administration of unemployment benefits, ensuring unspent resources for verifying claimants' identities are redirected to strengthen program oversight. The bill establishes a clear process for handling these funds, directing the transfer of unencumbered balances from the unemployment insurance budget to the integrity fund on June 30 of each odd-numbered year. It does not create new benefits or eligibility rules but streamlines the management of existing funding for identity verification. The bill is currently in committee review following its introduction on November 13, 2025.
