Summary
The bill amends the Social Security Act and the Internal Revenue Code to require states to verify the identity of unemployment compensation claimants using government-issued identification and supporting documents, with the Secretary of Labor to issue implementing regulations that include due process and anti-discrimination safeguards. It requires states to cross-match claimants against federal new-hire, incarceration, and deceased-person records, prohibits payment based on self-attestation alone, and directs payments to be made only after eligibility is confirmed. It also requires claimants to keep and submit weekly work search records subject to state verification, and authorizes the Secretary of Labor to withhold 5 percent of certain federal administrative funds from noncompliant states. Text was truncated, so some later provisions could not be reviewed.
