The bill amends sections of the Employment Security Law in Nebraska, specifically addressing disqualifications for benefits due to labor disputes, claim determinations, and claim redeterminations. Notably, it introduces a provision that allows all claims arising from the same alleged labor dispute to be considered simultaneously. Additionally, the bill changes the language regarding who makes determinations on claims, specifying that the department will handle these instead of a designated representative of the commissioner.

Furthermore, the bill expands the criteria for redeterminations of claims, allowing for a review if a benefit accuracy measurement program identifies an error in the original determination. It also clarifies that no redetermination can occur after two years from the original decision and mandates prompt notification to involved parties regarding any redetermination. The original sections of the law that are being amended are repealed as part of this legislative update.
