Members of the House are pushing for a condition that would deny UI benefits to any worker who lacks a HS diploma or its equivalent and is not enrolled in classes to earn one. What's your opinion?
- I don’t support this provision. All eligible workers should receive UI regardless of their education level.
- I think this is the wrong vehicle for supporting people to get their GED. Congress should instead focus on increasing investments in adult education & literacy, which is provided for via WIA Title II.
- I agree that UI should be conditioned on having a HS diploma or its equivalent, or on participating in instruction to complete one.
