The bill would exempt from disqualification for benefits an individual who leaves the workplace to care for the individual's minor child due to an unexpected illness, accident, or other unforeseeable event, if no reasonable, alternative care was available. The Texas Workforce Commission estimates the Unemployment Trust Fund would see an increase of approximately 130 claims per year due to the provisions in the bill. These claims would result in a total cost of approximately $790,842 in fiscal year 2022 and $817,642 in fiscal year 2023 to the Unemployment Trust Fund. The five-year total cost would be $4,177,635.
