The Department of Workforce Development (DWD) and the Wisconsin Unemployment Insurance Advisory Council (UIAC) will begin accepting public comments on Thursday, Nov. 14 regarding Wisconsin’s Unemployment Insurance (UI) law.
In collaboration with the UIAC, DWD holds a statewide hearing each biennium for the public to suggest potential changes to the UI program. The UIAC ensures employee and employer interests are represented in Wisconsin’s UI law. Before each legislative session, comments collected during the public hearing process help inform the UIAC’s legislative agenda.
Members of the public are encouraged to attend the virtual public hearing sessions on Thursday, November 21, 2024. The first session will be held from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and the second session from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Advance registration is required.
For those unable to attend a public hearing session, written comments will be accepted between Thursday, November 14, 2024, and Friday, November 22, 2024. Written comments can be submitted by email or U.S. mail:
