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 know the the funding timeline and any
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

anything else which is good and the money should
be paid out in the coming weeks that's it we don't have any more specifics
