If a State chooses to provide Birth and Adoption unemployment
compensation, all individuals covered by the State's unemployment
compensation law must also be covered for Birth and Adoption
unemployment compensation. Just as with current unemployment
compensation programs, individuals may not be denied experimental Birth
and Adoption unemployment compensation based on facts or causes
unrelated to the individual's unemployment, such as industry, employer
size or the unemployment status of a family member. The introduction of
such facts or causes would be inconsistent with Federal unemployment
compensation law.
