On Unemployment Compensation Dependent Allowance in Colorado

Summary

On May 2, 2023, Amy Traub testified before the Colorado Senate Business, Labor, and Technology Committee in support of Unemployment Compensation Dependent Allowance, HB23-1078. This important pro-worker policy change would provide workers receiving unemployment insurance benefits with an additional $35 per dependent per week (indexed to inflation), a meaningful boost for workers and a step toward a more modern and effective unemployment insurance system.
