Members of the Labor and Commerce, Subcommittee #2
Honorable Delegates,
I am David E Balducchi, retired from the U.S. Department of Labor, and currently on the Advisory Board of Social Action Linking Together. HB 2135 provides additional weekly benefits to eligible claimants in the amount of an allowance of $25 for each of up to three dependents. The bill requires any claimant declaring one or more dependents to provide proof of such dependents in a form and manner prescribed by the Virginia Employment Commission. This bill strengthens Virginia's prop-family policies. It is not based upon need, but the status of the individual relative to supporting essential expenses with raising dependent family members. Please support this bill that enhances traditional family life and structure. Thank you.
