Description
Unemployment compensation; trailing spouse of clergy. Provides that good cause for leaving employment exists if an employee voluntarily leaves a job to accompany the employee's spouse to a new location from which the employee's place of employment is not reasonably accessible, when (i) the spouse is a minister, priest, rabbi, or accredited practitioner of any religious organization or denomination usually referred to as a church and (ii) the church has involuntarily reassigned the spouse to serve a congregation in such new location. Benefits paid to qualifying claimants shall be charged against the pool rather than against the claimant's employer. Read the Bill »
