AB 2573, as introduced, Beth Gaines. Unemployment compensation benefits.
Existing law provides for the payment of unemployment compensation benefits to eligible individuals and specifies that an unemployed individual receiving those benefits who applies for a determination of potential eligibility for unemployment benefits, within a specified time period, is entitled to a training extension on his or her unemployment compensation claim to complete approved training, as specified. Existing law requires the Employment Development Department to inform all individuals who claim unemployment compensation benefits of this and other related information, as specified.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to this notification requirement.
