FEMA Announces Lost Wages Grant for California, NH, NY, VT, MS, TN, RI
WASHINGTON — FEMA Administrator Pete Gaynor approved California for a FEMA grant under the Lost Wages Assistance program.
FEMA’s grant funding will allow California to provide $300 per week — on top of their regular unemployment benefit — to those unemployed due to COVID-19. FEMA will work with California Governor Gavin Newsom to implement a system to make this funding available to California residents.
California secures $4.5 billion for Lost Wages Assistance Program. Individuals who are currently eligible to receive at least $100 per week in unemployment benefits may qualify for an additional $300 weekly supplement.https://t.co/LIqIilyBMP #PressRelease #EDDNews
