and jump right into this video
what's up folks and thanks for sticking
around so today is september the first
and this is a stimulus update video
the month has ended and we are now
entering the last month of the third
quarter and
a lot has changed over the past few
months the previous federal boost of 600
per week has expired on july 31st and
there has been no replacement
since then or since president trump
signed those four executive orders which
one of those was for the reinstatement
of the unemployment benefits
these benefits would become part of the
new lost wages assistance program
or also known as lwa this program is
being funded through the federal
emergency management agency
or fema based upon funding availability
initially trump signaled that the new
benefits would not pay the six hundred
dollars as with the keras act did
but four hundred dollars per week
instead the three hundred dollar portion
is funded at the federal level
while 25 percent or their 100 is
provided by each state
well most states were complaining that
they are running low on funds and unable
to supply the additional
100 per week incentive so ultimately
most states actually opted out for doing
that option
which leads most americans to only be
receiving 300
per week instead of 400 and these
benefits are expected to last
through december the 26th of this year
one of the main questions that americans
have is that if you receive the 600
unemployment federal boost from the
cares act will you be
qualified for the lwa benefits and
the answer is no in order to be eligible
for this program
you must receive 100 or more per week
in benefits from one of the following
regular unemployment insurance
unemployment compensation for
federal employees unemployment
compensation for ex-service members
pandemic emergency unemployment
compensation pandemic unemployment
assistance
note may appear as dua in unemployment
benefits services
or extended benefits or shared work or
trade readjustment allowances if you
meet one of those requirements then you
are eligible for the lwa program then
you must self-certify yourself as either
unemployed
partially unemployed or unable or
unavailable to work due to disruptions
caused by covet 19
and then if you are approved you will be
able to receive the 300
per week lwa benefits now if you do
qualify
don't forget that the lost wages
assistance program
is retroactive which means that you will
receive back pay from when the previous
600
weekly boost ended on july 31st to the
current date today
and that also includes if you recently
found a job and started this week but
you are unemployed for the entire month
of august
you will receive back pay for those
weeks as well
as of today there were about five payout
dates on
august 1st august the 8th august the
15th august the 22nd
and august the 29th so which states have
agreed to apply and participate
in the lost wages assistance program as
of today
we have a total of 40 states that have
been
approved by fema to provide the 300
or more weekly incentive to those who
qualify
now i do want to name these as it may
help some of you who need to apply
today so let's go over them real quickly
alabama alaska arizona arkansas
california colorado
connecticut florida georgia hawaii idaho
indiana iowa kentucky louisiana maine
maryland massachusetts michigan
minnesota mississippi
missouri montana new hampshire new
mexico new york north carolina
ohio oklahoma oregon pennsylvania rhode
island
tennessee texas utah vermont virginia
washington west virginia and wyoming
and out of all 40 states only five
states have actually paid the weekly
benefits so far
and those states are arizona louisiana
missouri montana tennessee and texas
and about eight states remaining that
are still waiting to apply or
waiting on approval from fema so if you
are still unemployed or
have been during the month of august i
suggest you apply for these
lwa benefits as it could provide some
additional
income or 1200 in financial aid
or some of us refer to this as free
money
y'all know we love free money right and
then we only have washington
dc and nebraska who have not applied in
south dakota who
actually declined the lwa program
other than that hey those are the 40
states that have or in the process
of offering additional assistance to
those affected by
the pandemic hopefully most of you
affected by the pandemic live in one of
those 40 states
and for those that live in dc or
nebraska or south dakota
i suggest you pack up your bags and move
on down to texas
we would love to have you down here
