A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
|
|
|
AN ACT
|
|
|
relating to the amount of a chargeback for unemployment |
|
|
compensation benefits paid to a person who is partially unemployed. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 204.022, Labor Code, is amended by |
|
|
adding Subsection (a-1) to read as follows: |
|
|
(a-1) Benefits computed on benefit wage credits of an |
|
|
employee may not be charged to the account of an employer if the |
|
|
employee continued to work the employee's customary hours for the |
|
|
employer when the employee's benefit year began. This subsection |
|
|
does not apply to a claim for unemployment benefits made under |
|
|
Chapter 215. |
|
|
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only |
|
|
to a claim for unemployment compensation benefits filed with the |
|
|
Texas Workforce Commission on or after the effective date of this |
|
|
Act. A claim filed before the effective date of this Act is |
|
|
governed by the law in effect on the date the claim was filed, and |
|
|
the former law is continued in effect for that purpose. |
|
|
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2013. |
