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.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
