Short description: 
UNEMP INS-WAGES                                                            

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the  Unemployment  Insurance  Act.   Defines  "wages"  for      
   calendar  year    2000  to  include  only  the remuneration paid to an      
   individual  by  an  employer  during  that  period  with  respect   to      
   employment  that  does not exceed $10,500 (now, $10,000).  Includes in      
   the definition of "wages" for calendar year  2001  and  each  calendar      
   year  thereafter  a  formula  for determining "wages". Redefines "base      
   period".  Sets out the "weekly  benefit  amount"  and  "prior  average      
   weekly wage" for any week beginning on or after January 2, 2000.  Sets      
   out  additional  benefits for individuals to whom benefits are payable      
   and who have a non-working spouse or dependent children  with  respect      
   to  any  week  beginning  on  or  after January 2, 2000.  Sets out the      
   "State 'on' indicator" and "State 'off' indicator".  Provides that the      
   Section concerning ineligibility for benefits  because  an  individual      
   voluntarily  leaves  shall not apply to individuals who leave work due      
   to the loss of child care despite the individual's reasonable  attempt      
   to  make  adequate  child care arrangements. States that no individual      
   shall be denied benefits by reason of a  lockout  subject  to  certain      
   exceptions.  Sets out when an individual is ineligible for benefits on      
   the  basis  of  wages  for  services in an instructional, research, or      
   principal administrative capacity.  Makes other changes.
