H.R. 2182 would establish a temporary program of supplemental unemployment benefits for unemployed coal miners who have exhausted their rights to regular unemployment benefits. An eligible unemployed coal miner is defined as an individual who has exhausted his rights to regular compensation, has no rights to compensation under any other state law, and who has had at least 75 percent of his base wages for services performed directly with the mining of coal. The amount of Federal supplemental benefits will be equal to the amount of regular compensation. The maximum amount payable to any individual will be equal to the lesser of: (1) 100 percent of the total amount of regular compensation payable to him under state law or (2) 26 times the amount of regular compensation payable to him for a week of total unemployment. Funds shall be appropriated from the general fund of the Treasury for these purposes.
