South Dakota's Department of Labor and Regulation must now check unemployment benefits recipients against death records each month to prevent deceased individuals from continuing to receive reemployment assistance payments. The bill adds this death record verification requirement to the department's existing monthly checks against new hire records and incarcerated individuals' records to ensure only eligible people receive benefits.
