H.B. No. 916
AN ACT
relating to the amount of a chargeback for unemployment
compensation benefits paid to a person who is partially unemployed.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 204.022, Labor Code, is amended by
adding Subsection (a-1) to read as follows:
(a-1) Benefits computed on benefit wage credits of an
employee may not be charged to the account of an employer if the
employee continued to work the employee's customary hours for the
employer when the employee's benefit year began. This subsection
does not apply to a claim for unemployment benefits made under
Chapter 215.
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only
to a claim for unemployment compensation benefits filed with the
Texas Workforce Commission on or after the effective date of this
Act. A claim filed before the effective date of this Act is
governed by the law in effect on the date the claim was filed, and
the former law is continued in effect for that purpose.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2013.
