Changes in unemployment insurance
legislation during 1985
Last year, for the first time in 5 years, the Federal unemployment insurance law was not amended in any way that required States to change their laws. However, the Federal Supplemental Compensation (FSC) Act of 1982 was amended by Public Law 99-15 to phase out payment of FSC benefits. The change specified that only those claimants receiving FSC at the time of phaseout could continue to collect the remainder of their entitlement during uninterrupted periods of unemployment.
In 1985, 12 States1 amended their laws to include tips in the definition of covered wages for tax purposes. To reflect 1983 amendments to the Federal law, a few States2 amended their definitions of covered wages in other respects.
