Description
Unemployment compensation; quit to follow military spouse. Provides that good cause for leaving employment exists if an employee voluntarily leaves a job to accompany the employee's spouse, who is on active duty in the military or naval services of the United States, to a new military-related assignment established pursuant to a permanent change of duty order from which the employee's place of employment is not reasonably accessible. The measure applies only if the state to which the spouse is transferred has a similar provision. Benefits paid to qualifying claimants shall be charged against the pool rather than against the claimant's employer. Amends § 60.2-528 (“Individual benefit charges.”), § 60.2-612 (“Benefit eligibility conditions.”), § 60.2-618 (“(Contingent expiration date \u2013 see Editor\u2019s note) Disqualification for benefits.”), of the Code of Virginia.
