As I shared in the past, there are many components to the new federal legislation. Here is a quick progress report on the existing and/or new programs:

• PUA – benefits for those who typically do not qualify for unemployment
  • Weeks expanded from 39 to 50 – DONE
  • Eligibility extended to March 13^th for new claims with an April 10^th phaseout for those with benefits still available – DONE
  • PUA Overpayment waivers deployed – IN DESIGN
  • New wage verification requirements for minimum weekly benefits deployed – IN DESIGN
• FPUC – additional $300 per week benefit enhancement for all unemployment benefit recipients
  • Additional funds rolled out – ON TRACK FOR JAN 15
• PEUC – extended weeks for UI recipients
  • Weeks expanded from 13 to 24 weeks – IN DESIGN
  • Eligibility extended to March 13^th for new claims with an April 10^th phaseout for those with benefits still available – DONE
  • Interaction with PUA – IN DESIGN
  • Interaction with EB – IN DESIGN
• MEUC – Additional funds for those who have non-covered additional income
  • Additional funds rolled out – IN DESIGN

Fundamentally, the UIAC has been a core partner in our efforts and, as we rollout these new provisions, will continue to be a key sounding board and stakeholder.
