>> Was his statement strictly true? I think it was. Apparently, to qualify for the all of the federal funds, the enabling state law has to be amended to provide benefits for part-time employees, which most states do not now cover. So, accepting the funds will effectively commit the state in future years to increasing SUTA taxes on employers to provide coverage for part-time employees (since part-time hours are already taxed, these additional funds will have to be generated through SUTA rate increases which are not offset by FUTA credits). The entire state unemployment benefit structure is a train wreck as it is. A person who makes $20/hour but is moved to a job making $15/hour can quit that $15/hour job and draw unemployment benefits. Does THAT make sense? A person who quits a job because their hours have changed? They qualify for benefits. It is New Deal legislation run amok.
