ATLANTA (WRDW/WAGT) - Georgia’s grant application has been approved for the Lost Wages Assistance Program to extend enhanced federal unemployment benefits.
The grant funding, approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, will allow Georgia to provide an additional $300 supplement to eligible individuals receiving unemployment benefits through the state.
On Aug. 8, President Donald Trump approved up to $44 billion from the FEMA Disaster Relief Fund to provide financial assistance to Americans who have lost wages due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This benefit is currently limited to an initial three-week period and not everyone who has filed an unemployment claim will be eligible.
The period of assistance is Aug. 1 to Dec. 27 or at the termination of the program, whichever is sooner.
Eligibility is based on an amount calculated by reported wages. Individuals must have received a weekly benefit amount determination of at least $100 to be eligible and must be unemployed or partially unemployed due to disruptions caused by COVID-19 pandemic.
Individuals do not need to call or apply separately for this benefit.
