Unemployment compensation; military spouses. Repeals the provision that made the enactment of a measure to allow military trailing spouses to be eligible for unemployment benefits contingent upon the appropriation by the federal government of funds for this purpose. By repealing this contingency, an employee who voluntarily leaves employment will be deemed to have had good cause for so leaving if the employee accompanies his or her spouse, who is on active duty in the military or naval services of the United States, to a new military-related assignment established pursuant to a permanent change of duty order from which the employee's place of employment is not reasonably accessible. The measure applies only if the state to which the spouse is transferred has a similar provision, unless the transfer involves members of the Virginia National Guard relocated within the Commonwealth. Benefits paid to qualifying claimants shall be charged against the pool rather than against the claimant's employer.

Unemployment compensation; employee voluntarily leaving employment to accompany military spouse.
