Changes in State unemployment insurance legislation in 2005
Loryn Lancaster
One Federal enactment affected the Federal-State unemployment insurance program during 2005. The QI, TMA, and Abstinence Programs Extension and Hurricane Katrina Unemployment Relief Act of 2005 (P.L. 109–91) included two provisions impacting the unemployment compensation program. Under the Act, $500 million was transferred from the Federal Unemployment Account in the Unemployment Trust Fund to the accounts of Alabama ($15 million), Louisiana ($400 million), and Mississippi ($85 million) to assist the States in meeting benefit payment obligations following Hurricane Katrina. The Act also permits any State, on or after August 28, 2005, to use unemployment insurance administrative funds on behalf of any other State to assist workers seeking unemployment insurance if a major disaster was declared as a result of Hurricane Katrina in such other State or any area in such other State.
