The latest ASA Legal Line installment featured Senator Rob Portman’s “Back-to-Work Bonus Program,” which is a business friendly alternative to the weekly pandemic payment program (Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation).
Toby Malara, ASA government affairs counsel, updated members on Senator Rob Portman’s “Back-to-Work Program,” which is a business-friendly alternative to the weekly pandemic payment program (Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation) and urges your support of this legislative proposal.
In July’s installment of ASA Legal Line, Malara discussed that one of the major provisions of the CARES Act signed into law in April 2020 was the creation of an additional federal $600 weekly pandemic payment, known as Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation, for those individuals receiving unemployment benefits.
