AB 1350: Employment Development Department: policies and practices.

The bill aims to amend the unemployment insurance code to improve policies and practices used by the Employment Development Department. The department must review and assess its fraud prevention and detection tools every other year, starting from 2027, to ensure they are effective in identifying and preventing fraud. This will help to reduce delays in eligibility determinations and benefit payments, as well as prevent fraud. The department will submit its analysis and assessment to specified legislative committees.
