Deadlines near for disaster unemployment aid

Posted online
Workers in Greene County who are unemployed because of recent storms and flooding have until Thursday to apply for disaster unemployment assistance.

The assistance is also available in 34 other counties, according to a Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations news release.

Claims must be filed by Thursday for those in Bollinger, Carter, Christian, Franklin, Iron, Jasper, Jefferson, Maries, Newton, Oregon, Phelps, Pulaski, Reynolds, St. Francois, Stone, Texas, Washington and Wayne counties. Claims must be filed by Friday for those in Butler, Callaway, Cape Girardeau, Gasconade, Howard, Laclede, Madison, McDonald, Osage, Ripley, Scott, Shannon, Stoddard, St. Louis, Taney and Webster counties.

Disaster assistance is intended for those who are not eligible for benefits under the state’s regular unemployment insurance program, such as farmers and the self-employed. Funding for the program comes from the federal government, not state employer payroll taxes, which are used to finance regular unemployment benefits, according to the release.

For more information on filing a claim, call (800) 788-4002. To register for assistance, contact the Federal Emergency Management Agency at (800) 621-3362 or www.fema.gov.[[In-content Ad]]
