Unemployment insurance.
- Expands unemployment insurance communications to include electronic transmissions alongside traditional mail.
- Defines electronic postmark date as the date when a document was electronically transmitted.
- Modernizes state unemployment processes to improve efficiency and accessibility.
The California Senate Committee on Labor, Public Employment and Retirement proposes expanding the definition of mail-related terms in the state's Unemployment Insurance Code to encompass electronic communications alongside traditional postal services.
The measure adds Section 22 to the Code, defining "mail," "mailing," and "mailed" to include both physical documents sent through the United States Postal Service or other common carriers and writings transmitted electronically. For electronic communications, the bill establishes that the "postmark date" refers to the transmission date of the writing. This addition maintains existing physical mail provisions while incorporating digital delivery methods into the Code's framework.
The change applies throughout the Unemployment Insurance Code except where otherwise specified, allowing state agencies to process unemployment-related documents received through electronic channels. While the measure requires fiscal committee review, it contains no appropriations and does not affect local programs.
