Here's the bad news for unemployment compensation benefits claimants: the $600/week "bonus cash" from the CARES Act has expired. But, here's the good news for PA claimants: Pennsylvania has implemented the Lost Wages Assistance Program. Claimants can get $300/week if they meet the following criteria:
- You must be fully or partially unemployed due to COVID-19, and
- You must have a weekly benefit rate + dependent allowance totaling $100 or more, and
- You must receive a payment each week from one of the qualifying programs:
- Unemployment Compensation
- Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation
- Pandemic Unemployment Assistance
- State Extended Benefits
- Shared-Work
- Trade Readjustment Allowances
The program just kicked off on Sunday, September 6 and the funding is (so far) limited to $1.5 billion for Pennsylvania.
