MADISON, Wis. — The Department of Workforce Development announced Wednesday that its Lost Wages Assistance Assistance program is now available.
According to a news release, DWD began releasing benefits Oct. 15 and will continue making payments over the next week.
The release said the program is a Federal Emergency Management Agency program that provides an additional $300 per week to eligible claimants who certify they are unemployed or partially unemployed due to coronavirus shutdowns. Officials said the claimant’s weekly benefit rate has to be at least $100 in an unemployment-related assistance program, including regular Unemployment Insurance or Pandemic Unemployment Assistance.
The LWA benefits payments are estimated to result in another $224 million in the hands of Wisconsinites, according to the release.
Payments will be made retroactivity to eligible claimants for up to six weeks: the weeks ending August 1, August 8, August 15, August 22, August 29, and September 5, 2020. DWD estimates up to 220,000 claimants may be eligible for LWA.
