This bill prohibits the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations from recovering or attempting to recover any employment security benefits that were incorrectly but nonfraudulently distributed to claimants if such employment security benefits were directly funded by moneys received by the state of Missouri from the United States government under:
(1) The federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), Pub. L. 116-136; or
(2) Any subsequent federal legislation or program designed, in whole or in part, to provide employment security relief.
The provisions of this bill will only apply if the United States government grants the state of Missouri the authority to waive the recovery of such incorrectly but nonfraudulently distributed benefits.
This bill is the same as HB 1035 and HB 1050 (2020) and similar to HB 1085 (2020).
