Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Currently, a claimant must generally wait one week after becoming eligible to
receive unemployment insurance benefits before the claimant may receive benefits
for a week of unemployment, but the application of the one-week waiting period is
temporarily suspended for benefit years that began after March 12, 2020, and before
March 14, 2021. This bill extends the end date for suspending the one-week waiting
period to September 5, 2021.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
