Federal Supplemental Compensation Amendments of 1983

Summary

Title I: Extension of Federal Supplemental Compensation Program - Amends the Federal Supplemental Compensation Act of 1982 to extend the payment of benefits under the Federal supplemental unemployment compensation program for seven weeks through November 15, 1983. Increases the number of weeks for which such benefits are payable to an individual or in a State. Provides, in the case of any account from which Federal supplemental compensation is first payable to an individual for a week beginning after September 30, 1983, that the amount established in the account shall be equal to the lesser of: (1) 65 percent of the total amount of regular compensation (including dependents' allowances) payable to the individual with respect to the benefit year (as determined under State law) on the basis of which the individual most recently received regular compensation; or (2) specified applicable limits (during certain State unemployment periods) times the individual's average weekly benefit for the benefit year. Provides formulas to determine the additional entitlement of individuals to whom such benefits were payable before October 1, 1983. Raises the maximum applicable limit (the maximum payment period in States with a specified high-unemployment level) from 14 weeks to 16 weeks. Permits States to use an alternative trigger mechanism, based on the total unemployment rate (TUR) in a State, as an alternative to the insured unemployment rate (IUR), in determining the payment period in effect. Sets forth the following table for determination of such payment period: (1) 16-week period-eight percent or greater IUR or 12 percent or greater TUR; (2) 14-week period-six to eight percent IUR or ten to 12 percent TUR; (3) 12-week period-five to six percent IUR or nine to ten percent TUR; (4) ten-week period-four to five percent IUR or eight to nine percent TUR; and (5) eight-week period-less than four percent IUR or less than eight percent TUR. Sets forth transitional rules. Directs the Secretary of Labor to require modifications of agreements with States under such Act to conform with amendments made by this Act within a specified period. Title II: Other Provisions - Amends the Internal Revenue Code to conform the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) definition of taxable wages with the social security tax definition for purposes of determining whether Federal supplemental compensation payments made to estates or survivors of deceased individuals should be subject to the FUTA unemployment tax. Extends the exemption of wages paid to certain alien farmworkers from FUTA unemployment taxation for two additional years, until January 1, 1986. Directs the Secretay of Labor to report to the Congress by April 1, 1984, on the feasibility of: (1) using area triggers in unemployment compensation programs; and (2) determining whether individuals filing claims for unemployment compensation are structurally unemployed. Amends the Social Security Act to extend for seven weeks, until November 16, 1983, the period for which the provisions continuing payment of social security disability benefits during appeal are applicable.
