Surprise! Federal Proposal Would Require States to Adopt California's ABC Contractor Classification Test for Unemployment Purposes | Fisher Phillips

Most attention about whether the Biden administration would attempt to adopt a version of California’s notorious “ABC test” for determining whether individuals are properly classified as employees or independent contractors has focused on either the high-profile inclusion of the test in the proposed PRO Act or whether the Department of Labor would install the test for wage and hour purposes after recently killing off a Trump-era proposed gig economy regulation. However, a pair of Senate Democrats recently released proposed legislation to reform the nation’s unemployment system that includes a hidden “nugget” – requiring states to use the restrictive California version of the ABC test for purposes of determining eligibility for unemployment insurance benefits. This proposal has garnered less attention but would have significant impacts on employers should it come to fruition. ....

Two Senate Democrats on Wednesday introduced legislation to overhaul the nation’s unemployment insurance system after the coronavirus exposed flaws in the existing structure.
The sweeping proposal sponsored by Sens. Ron Wyden of Oregon and Michael Bennet of Colorado aims to raise base benefits, create a permanent benefit for self-employed and gig workers, minimize differences between state programs and tie extended benefits to the unemployment rate.
The draft bill, titled the Unemployment Insurance Modernization Act, would require all states to offer at least 26 weeks of benefits and replace 75% of a worker’s typical wages up to a set maximum. ....

Senate Bill Would Expand Unemployment Benefits and Pay $250 a Week to Gig Workers

The bill, the Unemployment Insurance Modernization Act, would also make the self-employed, gig workers, new graduates and others a permanent fixture of the unemployment safety net.
Such workers, who are typically ineligible for state aid, would qualify for a $250 weekly Jobseeker Allowance benefit, paid by the federal government for up to six months and indexed annually for inflation.
The amount and length may increase during times of high unemployment. Similarly, state benefits would also be more responsive to economic downturns and rising joblessness.
It makes other tweaks, too. For example, states wouldn t be able to deny jobless aid to workers who quit their job for compelling reasons, like the loss of childcare or unusual risks to health or safety, and irregular work schedules all of which have come into play during the pandemic. ....
