The document explains that employees of the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission and 25 other states would be adversely affected by the rule, particularly in terms of losing benefits such as health insurance and life insurance. The writer urges for the rule to be stayed or phased out gradually to minimize the impact on employees, especially those who are already retired. The document also highlights the importance of employee benefits in retaining and attracting good employees.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
