Due to the many challenges that Vermonters have faced navigating the unemployment system during the pandemic, the legislature will be holding public hearings on unemployment insurance. These hearings are an opportunity to make your voice known, share your experience, and publicly express your thoughts or concerns on this issue.
Public hearings help the legislature to develop policy that is responsive to the needs of our communities. Below, please find all relevant information for participating in or watching the hearings. As always, be in touch if you have any questions or concerns.
