Investment Rules for Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund

Last scannedOct 25, 2026, 2:19 AM

In one sentence

This law allows the state unemployment insurance trust fund to be invested and sets rules for how earnings from these investments are used.

What it does

  • Allows money in the state unemployment insurance trust fund to be put into a special investment account called Pool A.
  • Permits the director of the Department of Workforce Services to decide when to take out money from the trust fund to pay benefits.
  • Requires that earnings from investments go partly to the workforce development training fund, but only if the balance in the unemployment insurance trust fund is not lower than it was on July 1, 2023.

Who it affects

  • People who receive unemployment benefits
  • The Department of Workforce Services and other state agencies

Limits and unknowns

  • The law does not specify how much of the earnings must go into the workforce development training fund.
  • It is unclear what happens if the balance in the unemployment insurance trust fund falls below the level it was at on July 1, 2023.
