Bill overview
This bill, the Portable Benefits for Independent Workers Pilot Program Act, aims to encourage innovation in benefits for workers who aren't traditional full-time employees. The Department of Labor will award grants to states, local governments, or nonprofits to test and improve ways of providing ‘portable benefits’ – benefits that workers can keep even when changing jobs. These benefits could include things like health insurance, retirement savings, and workers’ compensation. The bill also requires a government study to assess the program’s impact by September 2025.
