Bill overview
This bill, the Portable Benefits for Independent Workers Pilot Program Act, aims to encourage innovation in providing benefits to workers who don’t have traditional full-time employment. The Department of Labor will award grants to states, local governments, and nonprofits to test and improve ways of offering ‘portable benefits’ – benefits that workers can maintain even when changing jobs. The grants cannot solely focus on retirement benefits, and the Government Accountability Office will assess the program’s impact by 2024. This legislation seeks to address the growing number of independent workers who lack access to typical employee benefits.
