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 sponsored by a bipartisan group of senators and representatives and has been referred to the Committee on Government Operations, Labor and Economic Development for further consideration. If enacted, the changes would take effect for weeks of unemployment beginning on the first Sunday after the bill's publication.
