SCR 70 2021 Regular Session Jackson
Requests each member of the Louisiana congressional delegation to promote modifying the
federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation supplement provided by the American
Rescue Plan Act to allow states to use the supplement to encourage unemployed individuals
to return to employment. The modification should include the option to incentivize return
to work by using the Pandemic Unemployment Compensation supplement to cover the
difference between weekly wages individuals receive upon returning to work and the weekly
unemployment benefit amount they had been receiving plus 20% of such amount.
