Changes in State unemployment insurance legislation in 2007
Loryn Lancaster
To meet Federal requirements, some States enacted conforming legislation in 2007 relating to confidentiality and disclosure of unemployment compensation information. In 2006, the Department of Labor issued a final rule governing the confidentiality and disclosure of State unemployment compensation information. This rule, which became effective October 27, 2006, requires that State laws meet the confidentiality requirements, if necessary by enacting new legislation or modifying rules and practices. States have 2 years to make any necessary conforming changes.
During 2007, two Federal legislative enactments affected the Federal-State unemployment compensation program. First, the Revised Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2007 (P.L. 110–5) amended the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (a) to transfer Federal equity in State employment security real property to the States, (b) to provide that such property and proceeds from their sale may be used only for unemployment insurance (UI), employment service (ES), or Workforce Investment Act (WIA) activities, and (c) to provide that States may no longer use UI, ES, or WIA funds to amortize costs of future real property purchases. Second, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (P.L. 110–140) included a 1-year extension of the 0.2-percent Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) surtax through 2008.
