Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Unemployment Insurance Act. Provides that none of the amount received by an individual as primary social security old age and disability retirement benefits shall constitute disqualifying income.

 Home Rule Note (Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity)
 In the opinion of the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, House Bill 461 does not pre-empt home rule authority.

 State Mandates Fiscal Note (Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity)
 In the opinion of the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, House Bill 461 does not create a State mandate under the State Mandates Act.

 Fiscal Note (Department of Employment Security)
 Based on actual disqualifying income data for individuals receiving Unemployment Insurance (UI) during calendar year 2004, House Bill 461 is projected to increase unemployment benefit outlays by at least $27 million annually. If enacted, this bill will also presumably change the behavior of some individuals, motivating them to file UI claims that they otherwise would not have made. This behavioral change is somewhat unpredictable and would add to the annual costs by an undetermined amount. There would also be one-time costs of implementing the law change. There will be necessary software changes to the current UI Benefit Information System and its federal system TeleServe, a telephone voice response system for biweekly certification used by UI claimants. TeleServe changes would require in the voice system scripts and the capture of the responses. The estimated cost of these changes to the automated systems is approximately $20,000. Another area of one-time implementation costs would be in the updating of information packets to claimants, a change in the video containing Benefit Rights Information, a change in the manual benefit certification forms mailed to UI claimants that do not use Tele-Serve and updated training information on the UI law change to IDES frontline staff. The IDES staff costs involved in implementing the law change can be thought of as opportunity costs. There should be no additional increment of staff needed to implement this law change but rather just a change in priority of what gets done when. The updating of information packets, informational videos and forms happens on an ongoing basis where there is a significant change in information. The proposed law change, in itself, would be a significant change in information to claimants and would trigger an update. At that time, other less significant changes would also be updated in the informational materials. The associated cost, including related contractual costs, is under $50,000 and would not be entirely attributed to the proposed law change.
