FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. SB 7
2019 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
This legislation requires some state medical assistance program recipients be involved in work activity, but allows an
exemption for individuals currently receiving unemployment insurance benefits. The Department of Health and Social
Services (DHSS) may have to access unemployment insurance information to determine if an individual is exempt from
the work requirements. If so, DHSS will need to cover the costs associated with accessing this data.
The Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) mandates that the unemployment insurance administrative grant may only
be used for the administration of the program. 20 CFR 603 provides that any costs associated with requests for access to
unemployment insurance information for purposes other than the administration of the unemployment program must be
incurred by the requestor.
There is no fiscal impact to the Department of Labor and Workforce Development as a result of this legislation.
