SB457,1,2
1
An Act
to repeal
108.02 (26m) and 108.04 (3);
to amend
108.04 (11) (bm) of
2
the statutes;
relating to:
the unemployment insurance waiting period.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Currently, a claimant must wait one week after becoming eligible to receive unemployment insurance benefits before the claimant may receive benefits for a week of unemployment, except for periods during which the waiting period is suspended. The waiting period does not affect the maximum number of weeks of a claimant’s benefit eligibility.
This bill permanently deletes the one-week waiting period, thus permitting a claimant to receive UI benefits beginning with his or her first week of eligibility.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
SB457,1
3
Section
1
.
108.02 (26m) of the statutes is repealed.

against benefits and weeks of eligibility for which the claimant would otherwise be
2
eligible after the week of concealment and within 6 years after the date of an initial
3
determination issued under s. 108.09 finding that a concealment occurred.
The
4
claimant shall not receive waiting period credit under sub. (3) for the period of
5
ineligibility applied under par. (be).
If no benefit rate applies to the week for which
6
the claim is made, the department shall use the claimant’s benefit rate for the
7
claimant’s next benefit year beginning after the week of concealment to determine
8
the amount of the benefit reduction.
