This bill cuts unemployment benefits in South Dakota by half, reducing the maximum number of weeks an unemployed worker can receive regular benefits from 26 weeks to 12 weeks. The change applies to most workers, though those participating in approved job training programs under federal trade adjustment assistance may still receive extended benefits if necessary to complete their training.
