  • Why Extended UI Benefits Were Turned Off Prematurely for Workers in 33 States
    POLICY BRIEF APRIL 20, 2021 Why Extended UI Benefits were Turned Off Prematurely for Workers in 33 States ALEX BELL, THOMAS J. HEDIN, GEOFFREY SCHNORR, AND TILL VON WACHTER SUMMARY In some states, up to 30% of people receiving unemployment insurance benefits are losing access to state Extended Benefits because of how unemployment levels are currently measured. UI benefits are automatically extended when particular unemployment rates reach certain thresholds. However, one of the relevant rates does not count people who are receiving UI benefits from extension programs, it can move in the opposite direction of more commonly accepted measures of unemployment. This means Extended Benefits can "trigger off" when they are needed most. This Policy Brief explains how these automatic benefit extensions work, and uses data from the U.S. Department of Labor to quantify the impact of the design of the Extended Benefit program for UI claimants during the COVID-19 pandemic and in other downturns. Key Research Findings • The Extended Benefits (EB) program automatically exhaustion. Across all affected states and territories, extends how long a person can claim Unemployment there were more than 300,000 Americans collecting EB Insurance (UI) benefits when the share of workers benefits before the program turned off prematurely. claiming regular UI benefits reaches a certain level.

J. 367 (2020), https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmborj/vol29/iss2/4 Copyright c 2021 by the authors. This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmborj UNDULY BURDENING ABORTION JURISPRUDENCE Mark Strasser* INTRODUCTION The undue burden standard is the current test to determine whether abortion regulations pass constitutional muster.1 But the function, meaning, and application of that test have varied over time, which undercuts the test’s usefulness and the ability of legislatures to know which regulations pass constitutional muster. Even more confusing, the Court has refused to apply the test in light of its express terms, which cannot fail to yield surprising conclusions and undercut confidence in the Court. The Court must not only clarify what the test means and how it is to be used, but must also formulate that test so that it accurately conveys the conditions under which regulations will be upheld. Otherwise, the Court will not only continue to mislead the country about the content and breadth of abortion rights, but will also further convince the populace that the Court is simply set on promoting a political agenda.

  • The Supreme Court & Abortion Access For
    Issue Brief October 2019 “We Must Not Blind Ourselves”: The Supreme Court & Abortion Access for Women Living in Poverty Joel Dodge This term, the Supreme Court will once again take up the issue of abortion rights. In June Medical Services v. Gee, the Court will decide whether to rectify a lower court's failure to abide by binding precedent in a case involving a Louisiana abortion restriction identical to one the Court struck down in Texas only three years ago, squarely putting the Court’s recent abortion precedent on the line.1 June Medical seeks to hold anti-abortion state legislatures accountable for laws that eviscerate abortion access, especially for women living in poverty. The Court now has the opportunity to reaffirm precedent and to demonstrate that people living in poverty can still count on the courts to vindicate their constitutional rights. I. The Louisiana Case The Louisiana restriction at issue in June Medical2 would shut down any abortion provider who is unable to obtain admitting privileges at a local hospital. The Supreme Court has already held that admitting privileges laws impose unconstitutional burdens on women’s right to abortion because they are medically unnecessary yet impede access to providers.3 In Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt, the Court recognized that the Texas admitting privileges law under review provided no health benefits to women and did “not serve any relevant credentialing function” because physicians are routinely denied privileges for reasons unrelated to their medical 1 The Court is also considering a pending cert petition in a challenge to an Indiana law mandating a delay period after an ultrasound for women seeking abortion (discussed below).

    NARAL PRO-CHOICE AMERICA The United States ACCESS FACT: Currently, there are no states that provide total access Restricted Access The state of reproductive healthcare access in the United States is alarming. Due to the dearth of access in many regions, the nationwide status is “restricted access.” The meter’s colors represent the status of reproductive healthcare access in each state: a spectrum from bright red for “severely restricted access” to dark purple representing “total access.” As shown below, a handful of states have made great strides in expanding and protecting access to reproductive healthcare, achieving the status of “strongly protected access.” Yet, no state has achieved “total access” at this time. The majority of the states are in red, which should serve as a warning about the lack of reproductive healthcare access in much of the nation. An overview of the states that fall within each access category is below, and more detailed information about each state can be found in the state profiles.
