The resolution urges the Arkansas congressional delegation to propose an amendment to the Federal Unemployment Tax Act that would waive the "reasonable assurance" clause. This clause currently disqualifies certain employees of educational institutions, particularly nine-month employees, from receiving unemployment benefits during the summer months if they have a contract or reasonable assurance of returning for the next academic year. The resolution highlights the importance of these employees, such as bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and paraprofessionals, in supporting educational institutions.

By waiving the "reasonable assurance" clause, the resolution aims to provide much-needed financial assistance to these vital employees during the summer, when they are typically not eligible for unemployment benefits. The General Assembly expresses its intent to communicate this resolution to the Arkansas congressional delegation, advocating for the amendment to support the welfare of educational support professionals in the state.
