45-second read · 4 questions answered below
The Unemployment Integrity Act of 2025 would require unemployment recipients to respond to job leads, attend interviews, join reemployment services, and comply with state requests like drug testing or skill assessments. States must adopt these rules to keep receiving federal extended or emergency unemployment funds. The Secretary of Labor would also study whether more random claim audits improve program management and must expand them if the study supports it.
The bill affects people receiving unemployment benefits, who must meet new compliance requirements. It also affects state governments, which must update laws to keep federal funding, and employers, who gain a way to report noncompliant job candidates.
People who fail to meet these requirements risk losing unemployment eligibility. States that don't adopt the new rules within the required timeframe risk losing certain federal unemployment funds.
