Legislative purpose; annual review of maximum weekly benefit rates; comparison of consumers' price index; determining percentage of increase or decrease; report.
Status: in_force

Sec. 8.

A basic purpose of this act is to lighten the burden of involuntary unemployment on the unemployed worker and the worker's family. In view of this, the maximum weekly benefit rates under section 27(b) are related to the cost of the necessities of life for the various dependency classes recognized in that section. At the same time, the legislature has concluded that the maximum weekly benefit rates established in that section will finance the most favorable standard of living consistent with maintaining for unemployed individuals generally a proper incentive to seek and accept new work. To maintain this optimum relationship between maximum weekly benefit rates and the standard of living of the unemployed individual, the maximum weekly benefit rates established must be reviewed annually. The unemployment insurance agency shall annually, not later than February 28, compare the United States Consumer Price Index from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for the preceding December with the corresponding United States Consumer Price Index from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for the base month. The base month is the month of December preceding the most recent calendar year in which an adjustment of maximum weekly benefit rates is made. If in a calendar year the United States Consumer Price Index from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for the preceding December has increased or decreased as compared to the base month, the unemployment insurance agency shall determine the percentage of that increase or decrease. The unemployment insurance agency shall then multiply the maximum weekly benefit rate for each dependency class by this percentage. If the product obtained is $1.00 or more, the unemployment insurance agency shall report that fact to the governor and the legislature.
