This bill aims to modify the eligibility criteria for students seeking unemployment insurance benefits in Washington State. Specifically, it repeals RCW 50.20.095, which previously disqualified individuals from receiving unemployment benefits if they were attending school or an institution of higher education.

By removing this disqualification, the bill allows students to access unemployment benefits while pursuing their education, thereby providing them with financial support during their studies. The repeal of the existing law reflects a shift in policy to better accommodate the needs of students in the workforce.
