Perform an assessment on mixed earners, including a cost-benefit analysis of the Mixed Earners Unemployment Compensation program, to aid future decision-making regarding this segment of the work population and advise Congress based on lessons learned.

Collaborate with the Bureau of Labor Statistics to track and report data specific to mixed earners in the U.S. economy to allow for the provision of timely and useful assistance to the mixed earner population during future emergencies.

Perform an assessment of previous emergency unemployment insurance (UI) programs and the pandemic-related UI programs to determine an appropriate historically-based time limit for states’ acceptance of emergency program benefit claims after the expiration of the UI programs’ eligibility periods and consider making a legislative proposal to Congress to use the determined the time limit on future emergency programs.
