As of the IRS's June 11, 2026 update, unemployment compensation remains federally taxable income, so the promised permanent repeal is not delivered in current law.

As of the IRS update dated June 11, 2026, unemployment compensation is still federally taxable income, so the promised permanent repeal is not in effect. Thanedar has served in the U.S. House since January 3, 2023, but the available evidence here does not show that he enacted, sponsored, or materially advanced a federal repeal that became law, nor does it show a serious near-miss legislative attempt on this specific promise. Under the federal office context, that means the promised outcome was not delivered.
