FISCAL NOTE

Senate Bill 300 (Act 2012-299) as enacted could reduce benefits paid from the Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund by an estimated $11.4 million per year by moving the one-week waiting period that an individual serves without receiving benefits from after the thirteenth week to the first week. The savings would come from individuals that serve the waiting period during the first week and come off the rolls before the waiting period between week 13 and 14 and before receiving their full amount of benefits.
