Lawmakers in a handful of states have proposed reducing the duration of unemployment benefits and imposing more stringent work-search requirements.
"This is a trend that began after the Great Recession," Weidinger said."It's probably not surprising more states are taking this step now."
Individuals qualify for up to 12 weeks of benefits when the state unemployment rate is 4.5% or less at the time a worker applies for aid. That duration gradually rises with the jobless rate, up to a maximum 24 weeks when Kentucky's unemployment rate is over 10%.
