Bill overview
This bill provides $500 million in federal grants to states to improve their unemployment insurance technology systems. The goal is to make it easier for people to file unemployment claims online and through other accessible channels, such as phone and in-person assistance. States must meet specific requirements for their online systems, including accessibility for individuals with disabilities and language support, and demonstrate improvements within two years of receiving the grant.
