The Portable Benefits Bill
Nebraska looks at portable benefits for gig workers
Interim study to examine portable benefits systems and related regulatory frameworks for independent contractors and other workers engaged in nontraditional work arrangements
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
The bill would start a study to see how gig workers could keep their benefits when they change jobs.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If passed, the state will spend money to research portable benefit ideas, which could help independent contractors get steady health and retirement coverage, but nothing changes right now.
