This bill amends section 48-601 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, which pertains to the Employment Security Law. The amendment introduces new provisions that disqualify individuals from receiving unemployment benefits if they fail to respond to a job offer within two business days or do not appear for a scheduled job interview without prior notification to the employer. Additionally, the bill mandates the establishment of a reporting system, including a portal, email address, and hotline, for employers to report such failures.

Furthermore, before denying benefits based on these new disqualifications, the Nebraska Department of Labor is required to verify any information submitted by employers regarding the individual's failure to respond or appear for interviews. The original section 48-601 is repealed as part of this legislative update.
