Poythress Pushes For Benefit Changes
State Labor Commissioner
David Poythress has succeeded in
his push to increase unemployment
benefits for the jobless, while at the
same time cutting the
unemployment insurance taxes paid
by employers.
The bUI passed by the Georgia
General Assembly, and soon to be
signed into law by Governor Zell
Miller, will raise the state's
maximum weekly unemployment
check by $lO, from $lB5 to $195,
effective July 1. There will be
another $lO per week increase on
July 1,1995.
The measure will also save
money for businessmen by cutting
their unemployment taxes by 6.25
percent.
"Unemployed workers in
Georgia haven't had an increase in
their insurance benefits in four
years, even though the cost of
living has gone up steadily during
that time," Poythress said. "We're
fortunate we can help them and give
employers a tax break without
putting a strain on the
unemployment insurance trust
fund.”
Georgia's sl-billion-plus
unemployment insurance trust fund
is the nation's eighth largest. It
earned nearly $74-million in
interest in 1993, for a return of
better than seven percent.
In sharp contrast, the state ranks
42nd in the amount of benefits paid
to unemployed workers. While the
maximum weekly benefit i Georgia
has been $lB5 per week, the
national average is $249.84.
The measure, sponsored by State
Representative Roy H. "Sonny"
Watson, of Warner Robins, also
imposes one percent-per-month
interest on unemployment
insurance benefits received

commissioner authority to impose
a 10 percent penalty as well as to
waive the interest and/or penalty in
certain cases.
"Until now, we could take legal
action to force people to repay

nothing we could do to make them
