We are excited to announce that Senators Oscar Braynon (D) Anitere Flores (R) and Representative Jose Rodriguez (D) have filled SB 130 and HB 261, Unemployment Compensation for domestic violence survivors. This legislation would allow for the provision of unemployment compensation for victims of domestic violence when the victim reasonably believes that continued employment will jeopardize her/his safety and the safety of a member of his or her family or co-workers. Follow us in the coming months as we fight to get this bill passed. We are counting on your support!

Estamos muy contentas de anunciar que las senadores Oscar Braynon (D) Anitere Flores (R) y el Diputado José Rodríguez (D) han introducido la legislación SB 130 y HB 261, Compensación por Desempleo para las sobrevivientes de violencia doméstica. Esta legislación permitiría la provisión de seguro de desempleo para las víctimas de violencia doméstica cuando la víctima cree razonablemente que su permanencia en el área de trabajo pone en peligro su seguridad y la seguridad de un miembro de su familia o compañeros de trabajo. Por favor siga nuestro trabajo en los próximos meses para lograr que este proyecto se convierta en ley. Contamos con su apoyo!
