Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Act Now - PSC.The short explanation of this alert was: What does this legislation do? Current New York State law allows "letters of intent" to hire that are conditioned on enrollment, funding, or program changes to be used to establish the "reasonable assurance" standard for educational workers in federal unemployment law. S4123-A/A0613-A will change the current practice of allowing letters of "intent to hire" that are conditioned on enrollment, funding, or program changes to be offered as evidence of the federal "reasonable assurance" standard. The employer would have the burden of proof and would have to provide sufficient documentation, on a case-by-case basis, to overcome the presumption of contingency established in these letters of "intent to hire." This bill would remove a serious impediment that prevents adjuncts from collecting benefits. Adjuncts would still have meet other eligibility requirements and be available for work. And, they would not be eligible for unemployment insurance if their employer establishes "reasonable assurance" of employment in the following semester.
