【失業保険】COVID-19が怖くて働けない人は失業保険がもらい続けられるのか？
PIHRAのCEO RafaelがLiked InでCOVID-19が怖くて働けない人も失業保険が継続してもらえるように、とポストしていたので、本当か？と思って調べてみる。

確かに1/22/21のExecutive Orderのプレスリリースには下記の赤字の部分が記載されている。
Fact Sheet: President Biden’s New Executive Actions Deliver Economic Relief for American Families and Businesses Amid the COVID-19 Crises | The White House
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the United States economy into an economic crisis. Across the country, more than 10 million Americans are unemployed, 14 million renters are behind…
Help ensure that unemployed Americans no longer have to choose between paying their bills and keeping themselves and their families safe from COVID-19 by asking the U.S. Department of Labor to consider clarifying that workers who refuse unsafe working conditions can still receive unemployment insurance.
但し、Clarifyingと言っているので、無条件に怖くて働けないから失業保険がもらい続けられるということではないのではないか。
▼下記の現行のDepartment of Laborのガイダンスでは限定的だが、明確なCOVID-19感染の危険性を示すものがあれば失業保険の支給は受け取れる可能性があると書かれている。
Unemployment Insurance Relief During COVID-19 Outbreak | U.S. Department of Labor
My employer has remained open because it is essential. I’m not sick, nor is anyone in my household sick. I do not have children or care for someone who cannot care for themselves. However, I’m afraid of getting coronavirus from customers coming to the store, so I quit and filed for unemployment. Can I obtain benefits under the CARES Act?
No. Under the CARES Act, you may be eligible for benefits if you meet one of the circumstances listed in the Act, but none include the scenario described. On these facts, you are not eligible for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) because you do not meet any of the qualifying circumstances.
There are, however, circumstances under the CARES Act in which specific, credible health concerns could require an individual to quit his or her job and thereby make the individual eligible for PUA. For example, an individual may be eligible for PUA if he or she was diagnosed with COVID-19 by a qualified medical professional, and although the individual no longer has COVID-19, the illness caused health complications that render the individual objectively unable to perform his or her essential job functions, with or without a reasonable accommodation. However, voluntarily deciding to quit your job out of a general concern about exposure to COVID-19 does not make you eligible for PUA. If you believe your employer’s response to the possible spread of COVID-19 creates a serious safety hazard or if you think your employer is not following OSHA standards, you can file a complaint with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
As a general matter, you are likely to be eligible for PUA due to concerns about exposure to the coronavirus only if you have been advised by a healthcare provider to self-quarantine as a result of such concerns. For instance, an individual whose immune system is compromised by virtue of a serious health condition, and who is therefore advised by a healthcare provider to self-quarantine in order to avoid the greater-than-average health risks that the individual might face if he or she were to become infected by the coronavirus will be eligible for PUA if all other eligibility requirements are met.
カリフォルニア州の例を見てみよう。今のところ やはり赤字の部分、個人的にリスクが高い等の明確な理由がないと「怖いから仕事を拒否する」では失業保険はもらえない可能性が高いと思われる。

Will I lose my unemployment benefits if I refuse to return to work?
Generally, you are not eligible for unemployment if you refuse to accept “suitable” work when offered. We will review the degree of risk involved to your health and safety when considering if your work is “suitable.” For example, if your employer has followed the state’s requirements and government safety regulations for reopening, you may not have good cause to refuse to return to work and would not be eligible for unemployment.
You may have good cause to refuse to return to work if you are at greater personal risk based on your health. The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) issued public health guidance (PDF) urging individuals who are over 65, immunocompromised, or have certain serious chronic health conditions (such as heart disease, lung disease, or diabetes) to stay at home due to “higher risk” factors.
But, you may not have good cause for refusing work if your employer allows you to telework and you still refused. In this case, you would not be eligible for unemployment benefits because there is an option available without compromising your health and safety. Another option may be a modified schedule.
Employers may have a legal obligation to accommodate certain health conditions. Review the Department of Fair Employment and Housing guidance (PDF) on what employers must do to accommodate employees with recognized disabilities.
