Changes in State unemployment insurance legislation in 2003
Loryn Lancaster
The Temporary Extended Unemployment Compensation (TEUC) program, enacted in March 2002, and scheduled to expire in December 2002, was extended twice during 2003. The first extension was effective through May (P.L. 108-1) and the second, through December (P.L. 108-26). Under this program, up to 13 weeks of benefits are available to eligible individuals in all States, and up to an additional 13 weeks in States with high unemployment, for a total of 26 weeks. Individuals who have amounts remaining in their TEUC accounts at the end of December can collect that amount through March 2004. All TEUC benefits and administrative costs are federally financed.
Also, a special TEUC program for airline and related workers was created in April 2003 (P.L. 108-11) and extends through the end of December 2003. This program, called TEUC-A, provides benefits to workers employed by domestic air carriers, at a facility at an airport, or at an upstream producer or supplier for an air carrier and were separated from employment because of the terrorist acts of September 11, a security measure taken in response to the terrorist acts, or the military conflict in Iraq. Under TEUC-A, up to 39 weeks of benefits are available to eligible individuals in all States, and up to an additional 13 weeks in States with high unemployment. Individuals who have amounts remaining in their TEUC accounts at the end of December can collect that amount through December 2004. All TEUC-A benefits and administrative costs are federally financed.
