Many have noted the House Republicans' latest attempt to fuck over the American people, this time screwing around with the unemployment insurance system. Of course this pile of shit will never pass, and the requirement claiming those without a high school diploma or GED would be ineligible for benefits is absolutely illegal and unconstitutional.
Read this shit. It is unbelievable:
. PARTICIPATION IN REEMPLOYMENT SERVICES
16 MADE A CONDITION OF BENEFIT RECEIPT.
17 (a) SOCIAL SECURITY ACT.—Paragraph (10) of sec-
18 tion 303(a) of the Social Security Act is amended to read
19 as follows:
20 ‘‘(10)(A) A requirement that, as a condition of
21 eligibility for regular compensation for any week—
22 ‘‘(i) a claimant shall meet the minimum
23 educational requirements set forth in subpara-
24 graph (B); and
‘‘(ii) any claimant who has been referred to
2 reemployment services shall participate in such
3 services.
4 ‘‘(B) For purposes of this paragraph, an indi-
5 vidual shall not be considered to have met the min-
6 imum educational requirements of this subparagraph
7 unless such individual—
8 ‘‘(i) has earned a high school diploma;
9 ‘‘(ii) has earned the General Educational
10 Development (GED) credential or other State-
11 recognized equivalent (including by meeting rec-
12 ognized alternative standards for individuals
13 with disabilities); or
14 ‘‘(iii) is enrolled and making satisfactory
15 progress in classes leading to satisfaction of
16 clause (ii).
17 ‘‘(C) The requirements of subparagraph (B)
18 may be waived for an individual to the extent that
19 the State agency charged with the administration of
20 the State law deems such requirements to be unduly
21 burdensome in the case of such individual.’’.
There is no way this will ever pass the House or the Senate, even with the neolibs running things. It's too goddamned outrageous.
