Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


Due to verbiage in the legislative bill, annual benefits paid would not be a factor in this financial estimate since the claimants would draw unemployment benefits whether or not they applied for Self Employment Assistance (SEA). In addition, since these claimants are individuals who are already most likely to exhaust their claim, no additional weeks of benefits can be projected as an expense to the Trust Fund because they are already expected to draw the full 26 weeks. Therefore, this estimate is only for staff time to start and run the SEA Program.
