Hi everyone, this is Dr. Nitin Chhoda with
Ignition Time. This is part 2 of the
video on - when the $300 a week benefit the enhanced
benefit extensions from the lost wages
assistance program are going to go out.
This is part 2 of the video. In part 1
I covered states in the alphabetical order
states A through K.
I gave you information about when the
state was approved, whether the state
recipients have to do anything extra to
get the $300
weekly booster and when the residents
can expect payment. This is part 2 of
the video where I start from the letter
L and work my way all the way through
the rest of the states alphabetically. So
let's get started with the state of
Louisiana in this video.
Louisiana was approved on the 15th of
August for the LWA program. That's when
they got money from FEMA and for most
people they don't have to do anything
extra in the state of Louisiana but the
Louisiana workforce commission
may reach out by email to
additional eligible people
and whether you have to respond or not
will be will be dependent on your
circumstance. It says here additional 20,000 unemployment insurance claimants
could qualify for LWA.
These claimants may have had their
employment disrupted due to the pandemic.
This week these individuals will receive
an email from LWC which is the Louisiana
Workforce Commission
to update their claim information. No
additional action is needed at this time.
The LWC will contact claimants directly.
The LWC encourages everyone to ensure
that the email they are required to
provide at the time of filing is correct.
So what this means is if you're in the
state of Louisiana
check your email, check your spam folder
for an email from LWC.
It seems that payments have already
started to go out because payments
started going out on the 26th
of August in the state of Louisiana.
Maine was approved on august 25th
recipients do not have to do anything in
Maine. The payments will be made automatically
based on unemployment claims.
Received individuals will not need to
call or apply separately
for this benefit according to the Maine
department of labor according to a tweet
from them when the money will go out is
unclear. Maryland was approved on the
19th of august so it has been a couple
of weeks. Recipients do not need to do anything.
Claimants will not have to file a new application
to receive LWA benefits according to a
news release from the governor
of Maryland. When the money will start
going out is not clear. Massachusetts was
approved on the 21st of august. They'll start
providing $300 a week. Recipients do not have to do
anything extra which is good.
Eligible claimants currently receiving
benefits do not need to take any action
because the common melt will
automatically add LWA to their weekly
benefit payment retroactive to the dates
they were eligible.
As for the President's
executive order, the payments are
retroactive to august 1st.
When will the money go out? Probably
right around September 15th
according to the state of Massachusetts.
You can check with the state directly
for specific guidelines. Let's check Michigan.
Michigan was approved on the 21st of
august they'll send out the $300
a week there's no need to do anything
extra if you're already receiving
unemployment benefits.
You don't need to do anything extra.
You'll continue to certify bi-weekly as
you normally would according to the
department of labor and economic
opportunity
in the state of Michigan. It's not clear
when the money will go out
the state has i love it when the states
do this
well i don't love it but i find it
unusual i say that in jest
the state has asked people to not
contact customer service
uh regarding your lwa payment
uh yeah let's move on um minnesota
uh was approved on the 29th of august
just a couple days ago
um and recipients do not need to do
anything and potentially by the end of
this week or next week
is when residents in minnesota will
start getting money mississippi was
approved on the 22nd
of august recipients do not need to do
anything and the money will go out
within three to four weeks according to
a press release mississippi missouri
was approved on the 16th of august it
has been a couple of weeks recipients do
not need to do anything
the money uh did start to go out last
week according to a news release in the
state of mississippi that's 300
a week now montana uh montana is
actually paying out
the full 400 it's one of the very few
states that's paying off 400
they were approved on the 18th of august
recipients have to keep filing like
normal
and be ready to answer this question the
question is as follows
were you unemployed partially unemployed
unable or unwilling to work due to
disruptions caused by
caused by covid caused by the pandemic
this week that is a question that will
be asked
when will the money go out the money
actually started going out about a week
ago according to a local
according to a local news station
nebraska has not applied
at the time we are recording this video
if that situation does change we'll let
you know
if you are in nebraska watching this and
you have any information help the
community by typing into the comments
section below
nevada has not yet applied also like
nebraska for the lost wages funding
but local officials in nevada have said
that they intend to so we don't have any
other information
once approved it could take as long as
six weeks according to the las vegas
sun new hampshire was approved on the
24th of august
governor chris sununu announced that um
beneficiaries you know would be getting
300 a week right now it's not clear if
they need to do anything extra
the money is expected to go out early
september probably in the next week
also new jersey has submitted an
application for fema funds
and right now we are waiting for more
information from new jersey it could
take some time
because this new program must be created
from scratch and run separately from new
jersey's existing state and federal
unemployment systems according to a news
release this is not something
new jersey or any state will be able to
do quickly or easily according to an
official
uh according to an official cited by
nj.com
payments probably won't be made until
october so it could take
it could take a while in the state of
new jersey new mexico was approved on
the 15th of august
recipients do not need to do anything
extra in fact it was one of the first
states to receive
lost wages funds new mexico the money
will start going out in the second week
of september in about a couple of weeks
or less
but at the time this video was released
new york
was approved on the 23rd of august not
not the best relationship between the
governor of new york and the president
but new york was approved for the lost
wages grant on august 23rd it will
provide 300
recipients do not need to do anything
extra for now the state will contact
claimants once it's ready and the money
will start going out soon we don't have
an exact we don't have an exact date yet
north carolina was approved on the 21st
of august recipients don't need to do
anything
and the money could start going out as
early as next week so that's good news
for
uh residents in north carolina and not
decorah has not yet been approved
for fema funding but it has indeed
submitted an application
in fact let's look at the fema website
today actually uh let me take that back
on the 31st of august
not dakota that is just yesterday north
dakota was indeed approved
for fema funding because i looked at the
fema website as i was talking to you
folks
so north dakota has indeed been approved
and it's anticipated that the money will
go out
sometime in the middle of september ohio
was approved on the 26th of august
and it's not clear whether residents
have to do anything extra and when the
money will go out by the way going back
to north dakota for a second
it appears that residents don't have to
do anything extra together 300
a week but it's best to check with north
dakota because they just got approved
for the lwa program oklahoma was
approved on the 18th
of august and recipients do not have to
do anything extra it seems
and the money will could take up to five
weeks from
the 19th of august which is a day after
they got approved
and they said we're operating in a
compressed timeline with the
understanding people across our state
need help
that was from oklahoma oregon was
approved on the 28th of august just a
few days ago
recipients do not have to do anything
else and it's unclear when the money
will start going out pennsylvania was
approved on the 24th of august
they'll pay out 300 a week there is no
need for residents to do anything extra
based on our reporting
but you may want to check with the state
for any state and
it seems that there's no clarity on when
the money will go rhode island
was approved on the 22nd of august a lot
of these states have actually been
approved for a few days now
some of them you know for mo for almost
a couple of weeks
rhode island will provide 300 a week and
residents in rhode island do not have to
do anything extra
which is encouraging the money will go
out within three weeks according to the
department of labor and trainings
website in the state of rhode island and
south carolina has not yet been approved
for fema funds but it has indeed
applied so we'll let you know as soon as
south carolina is approved in fact let's
quickly take a look at yeah south
carolina has at the time we are
recording this video south carolina has
not yet been approved
keep in mind information does change
rapidly uh we're not clear about you

other information south dakota did
refuse to offer
for fema funding as i've as i've
explained on my channel tennessee was
approved on the 22nd of august
recipients do not need to do anything
else which is encouraging
and it's not clear when the money will
go out texas was approved on the 21st of
august
okay there you know texas does have a
high unemployment rate so texas was
approved on the 21st
of august there's nothing extra
recipients have to do but it's not clear
