        <text><![CDATA[ <p><b>Emergency Benefits for Independent Workers Program Act</b><br> <br> This bill establishes grants for states to provide workers in alternative work arrangements such as independent contractors, domestic workers, temporary workers, or self-employed individuals with portable, work-related benefits. Specifically, states must use such grants to address the state's administration of unemployment compensation and design and implement approaches to provide individuals in alternative work arrangements with benefits that may be maintained upon changing jobs including, but not limited to, paid leave, health insurance, and retirement savings options. </p>]]></text>
