俄亥俄州立法者建议将失业福利从26周减至20周,以防止信托基金破产。 Ohio lawmakers propose cutting unemployment benefits from 26 to 20 weeks to prevent trust fund insolvency.

俄亥俄州立法者正在审议众议院第376号法案,该法案将把失业福利从26周减至20周,以稳定国家资金不足的信托基金,因为该基金在经济衰退中可能面临破产风险。 Ohio lawmakers are considering House Bill 376, which would cut unemployment benefits from 26 to 20 weeks to stabilize the state’s underfunded trust fund, potentially at risk of insolvency in a recession. 该法案由Michelle Teska(RR)赞助,旨在挽救超过1.58亿美元的企业并减少雇主减税,但批评者警告说,该法案可能会伤害寻求熟练工作的工人,并质疑其长期效力,同时指出俄亥俄州过去在衰退期间依赖联邦贷款。 Sponsored by Rep. Michelle Teska (R), the bill aims to save businesses over $158 million and reduce employer tax hikes, but critics warn it could harm workers seeking skilled jobs and question its long-term effectiveness, noting Ohio’s past reliance on federal loans during downturns. 该法案有12个共和党共同赞助者,并已通过一次委员会听证会。 The bill has 12 Republican co-sponsors and has passed one committee hearing.
