Labor Department publishes notice on Sept. 19

The US Labor Department published a one page notice on Sept. 19, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The notice is focused on Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance; The Mega Life & Health Ins. Co., a Subsidiary of Healthmarkets, Inc., Including Workers Whose Unemployment Insurance (UI) Wages Are Paid Through Insphere Insurance Solutions, Inc., Including On-Site Leased Workers From Computer Solutions and Software International, Inc., Dell Service Sales, Emdeon Business Services, KFORCE, Microsoft, Pariveda Solutions, Inc., Perot Systems, Corp., Premius Credit Corp., Socrates, Inc., Sogeti USA, LLC, the Z Group, Inc., Verizon, Viant Payments Systems, and Insphere Insurance Solutions, Inc., North Richland Hills, TX.

The Department provides billions in unemployment insurance, which peaked around 2011 though spending had declined before the pandemic. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, claimed the Department funds "ineffective and duplicative services" and overregulates the workplace.

Notices are required documents detailing rules and regulations being proposed by each federal department. This allows the public to see what issues legislators and federal departments are focusing on.

Any person or organization can comment on the proposed rules. Departments and agencies must then address “significant issues raised in comments and discuss any changes made,” the Federal Register says.
