Enrolled Bill Summary

            House Bill 567 amends the Texas Unemployment Compensation Act to permit money in the special administration fund to be used to pay persons who contract to collect delinquent unemployment taxes, penalties, or interest owed and to provide employers 14 days, rather than 12 days, in which to respond to an unemployment insurance claim. The act permits examiners to correct clerical or machine errors related to claims at any time during the benefit year, specifies proceedings that suspend the running of the three year statute of limitations for beginning civil action in court or making an assessment to collect money, and requires the Texas Workforce Commission to pay the cost of filing an abstract of an assessment and to add the filing fee paid for an abstract of judgment or an abstract of assessment to the amount due under the assessment or judgment.
