Senate Bill 507 proposes to amend current law by repealing sections 108.04 (2) (h) and 108.04 (12) (f) of the statutes, which currently prohibit recipients of federal Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) from receiving unemployment insurance benefits during any week they are receiving SSDI. The bill aims to allow individuals who are otherwise eligible to receive both SSDI and unemployment insurance benefits concurrently, thereby providing additional financial support to those who may be facing unemployment while also receiving disability benefits.

The bill is set to take effect for weeks of unemployment beginning on the first Sunday after its publication. This legislative change is intended to enhance the financial stability of individuals who are navigating both disability and unemployment, reflecting a shift towards more inclusive support for those in need.
