House Bill 565 amends the Texas Unemployment Compensation Act relating to the prohibition against receiving unemployment benefits on an individual who is unemployed because of the sale of a business in which the individual was an officer, partner, or sole proprietor and was involved in the sale. The act specifies conditions under which such a disqualification ceases. The act requires individuals filing a new unemployment benefit claim to disclose any uncollected overissuances of food stamps. The Texas Workforce Commission must deduct the overissuance from any unemployment benefits and transfer the amount of the overissuance to the Texas Department of Human Services.
