REO provides grants to organizations involved in workforce training, pre-apprenticeship, and apprenticeship programs for formerly incarcerated people, as well as those who will be released within six months
In light of COV-19, we should: Update the Stafford Act to allow for individuals to apply for Disaster Unemployment Assistance without exhausting regular UI first, enabling states to avoid spending down their UI trust funds right away Raise the minimum benefit amount to 1.5 the times of the national average state UI benefit ($531) Require states to waive waiting weeks, so involuntarily unemployed workers can receive benefits as soon as possible. Provide emergency administrative funding for state unemployment insurance programs, since need will rise, and the federal government bears statutory responsibility for the costs of state administration. Support workers who need to balance work and new caregiving responsibilities related to coronavirus: This includes steps such as: Expanding the definition of good cause quits to caregiving responsibilities - including if school closures related to the virus affect parents and caregivers ability to work Requiring states to make part-time workers eligible - particularly as more workers may need to work part-time with potential school closures or caregiving responsibilities. Prevent job loss by expanding work-sharing within unemployment insurance. Work-sharing would allow for companies to move full-time workers to part-time status while workers get compensated through UI for reduced hours. Work-sharing exists in only 27 states and the District of Columbia, and should be required for every state, with a generous federal match for administrative costs for new and existing programs Expand the definition of good cause quit to employees refusing an assignment that violates health and safety standards Waive work search requirements so that people can stay home as is recommended by public health officials, especially since job search for many low-paid jobs requires in-person interviews Help states to provide UI-related services such as career counseling and reemployment assistance remotely Make sure claims related to the pandemic dont count against experience rating so that employers are not penalized for cutting back on business for health-related reasons
