The Wisconsin Assembly has passed a series of bills aimed at rebranding the state’s Unemployment Insurance program to Remployment Assistance program. The initiative is driven by the objective of helping those who have lost jobs through no fault of their own find new employment opportunities. The reform is encapsulated in Assembly Bill 164, led by Rep. Brent Jacobson. According to him, this bill aims to return unemployed Wisconsinites to the workforce expediently and extend the security of regular income.

The conditions of the bill are such that those receiving benefits would need to make a minimum of two direct employer contacts per week starting from week three, keep updated resumes at the Department of Workforce Development, and those nearing the end of their benefits would have to complete reemployment counseling. The bills are set to move to the Senate next.

For individuals needing assistance with their remployment benefits or having queries relating to this reform, it’s essential to know how to get a hold of the right people for accurate information.
