Key Takeaways
- Nevada's maximum weekly unemployment benefit is $631 in 2026, up from $469, following the annual adjustment based on the average monthly wage for the prior year.
- Benefits last up to 26 weeks under standard conditions.
- Nevada's partial UI formula allows you to earn up to 25% of your WBA per week before your benefit is reduced; earnings above that reduce your benefit dollar-for-dollar.
- Nevada has no state income tax — UI benefits are only subject to federal income tax.
- Beyond UI, unemployed Nevadans can access Nevada Medicaid (expanded in 2013), Nevada Check Up (CHIP), SNAP, LIHEAP energy assistance, and career services through Nevada JobConnect offices statewide.
Nevada’s unemployment insurance program — managed by the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation (DETR) — raised its maximum weekly benefit to $631 in 2026, up from $469 in 2025. This significant $162 increase follows Nevada’s statutory formula, which ties the maximum to the prior year’s average monthly wage. One major advantage for Nevada claimants: Nevada has no state income tax, so UI benefits are only subject to federal income tax. See how Nevada compares at SavingToInvest’s unemployment benefits by state guide.
2026 Benefit Amounts and Duration
Nevada’s maximum weekly benefit is $631 for 2026. The minimum is $16. Benefits last up to 26 weeks.
Your Weekly Benefit Amount is calculated at approximately 50% of your average weekly wage during the base period, subject to the $631 cap. The base period is the first four of the last five completed calendar quarters before filing.
Things can change — I’ll update this page when any adjustments are announced. Subscribe here to get notified.
Who Qualifies
To receive Nevada UI benefits, you must:
- Have earned wages in covered employment during the base period
- Have wages in your highest quarter of at least $400
- Have total base period wages of at least 1.5× your high-quarter wages
- Have lost your job through no fault of your own (layoff, reduction in force, business closure)
- Be physically able and available for suitable work
- Actively seek employment each week
Register with Nevada JobConnect at nevadajobconnect.com and certify biweekly through the DETR portal or by phone. Nevada requires you to document job search activities each benefit week.
Workers fired for misconduct or who quit without good cause are generally ineligible. Nevada recognizes good cause for domestic violence, medical conditions, and substantial employer-imposed changes to employment.
Partial Unemployment for Part-Time Workers and Reduced Hours
Nevada’s partial UI formula: the earnings disregard is 25% of your WBA per week. Earnings above that threshold reduce your benefit dollar-for-dollar.
For example, if your WBA is $500 (25% = $125) and you earn $250:
- Disregard: $125
- Deductible earnings: $250 − $125 = $125
- Adjusted WBA: $500 − $125 = $375
Workers on reduced hours or those taking part-time work while job searching can file for partial benefits. All gross earnings must be reported when certifying each week.
Tax Implications of Nevada Unemployment Benefits
Nevada has no state income tax — UI benefits are not subject to state income tax. This is a meaningful advantage for Nevada claimants compared to neighboring states.
At the federal level, UI is taxable as ordinary income. You’ll receive Form 1099-G from DETR by January 31. You can elect federal withholding from your weekly payments when certifying. Since there’s no state withholding to worry about, just elect the federal withholding amount you want.
How to File
File your claim at ui.nv.gov or call 888-890-8211. You’ll need your Social Security number, work history for the past 18 months, and bank account details for direct deposit.
There is a one-week waiting period before benefits start. After approval, certify biweekly through the DETR portal — report all earnings and work-search activities for each week in the certification period.
If your claim is denied, you have 11 days from the decision date to file an appeal with the DETR Employment Security Division.
Other Benefits Available to Unemployed Nevada Workers
Nevada Medicaid: Nevada expanded Medicaid in 2013. Adults earning up to 138% of the federal poverty level qualify for free comprehensive coverage. Apply at dwss.nv.gov (Division of Welfare and Supportive Services) or AccessNevada (accessnv.nv.gov).
Nevada Check Up (CHIP): Nevada Check Up provides low-cost health coverage for children in households up to 205% of the federal poverty level. Apply through Nevada Medicaid at accessnv.nv.gov.
SNAP (Food Assistance): Nevada SNAP provides monthly food benefits via EBT. Apply at accessnv.nv.gov or your local DWSS office. Income limits vary by household size.
LIHEAP (Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program): Nevada’s LIHEAP helps with home energy costs (primarily air conditioning in summer given Nevada’s climate, plus heating). Apply through your county’s human services agency or the Community Services Agency.
Nevada JobConnect: Nevada’s JobConnect offices provide free job placement, skills training, resume help, and access to WIOA-funded training programs. Participating in JobConnect activities also satisfies work-search requirements. Find your nearest office at nevadajobconnect.com.
What to Watch in 2026 and Beyond
Nevada’s benefit maximum adjusts annually. The significant $162 increase for 2026 reflects strong wage growth in the Las Vegas and Reno metro areas. The 2027 rate will depend on 2025 average monthly wage data — I’ll update this page when that’s announced. Additionally, Nevada does not currently have its own state disability insurance or paid family leave program, so UI remains the primary income replacement for most workers.
I still don’t have a Y in my unemployment home page for week #4, but all of my co workers (mind you we’re all still out of work) got their payments.. I got my initial $900 last week October 28 so is this typical? It’s been 3 weeks tomorrow they’re on week #4 payments. I hate relying on this money to live.. but that’s all I have right now, can’t stop life because they stopped our country. Ugh. Anyone else still waiting on week 4?
Still waiting on week4. Got weeks 1-3. All regular unemployment plus the $300.
What’s taking so long on money we should already have been paid in a lump sum???
ok good to know someone else out there is in the same boat, NOT good that we haven’t been paid though. Thank you for getting back to me on this. It’s getting harder and harder to get by these days. And YES we def should have already gotten this lump sum…. these payments were approved back in August, that’s just how oue great governor works, shows he could care less if they wait until 2022.. Ughh hope you get your soon. Stay safe out there!
I got my fourth week payment this past Monday so hopefully you’ll get yours this week…Best of luck!!
Thank you for the update and wishes. I hope so too, it’s getting harder and harder to get by these days. Stay safe out there!
Yes I am still waiting for week 4 and today is 11/24!!
I am curious as to how the State of Nevada is justifying that 25 million less than what would have covered weeks 4-6 is reason to not pay week 6. Let’s not forget how long they held the first lump sum of funding for weeks 1-3 and the interest they received on those funds. Now they are rolling out week 4 over 10 days again while accumulating interest, week 5 which should have more than sufficient funding is going to be held for 17 days before all eligible persons will be paid out.
So that means they had 6 weeks of interest on weeks 1-3 before it was distributed. 3 weeks of interest on week 4 (prorating down S payments were made. Week 5 has 3 weeks of interest so far and will more than likely hit 6 at the rate they are processing payments.
Tell me again how the 25 million they did not receive that would have covered weeks 4-6 has not been accumulated in the interest. The funds being held for an excessive period of time I am sure have made close to 5 million without using compounding interest calculations.
we need accountability. They are crooks. why we suffer.. They in their mansion. They don’t give a damn about Nevada citizens. Until voting time.
I only received 1 $300 payment and no other. My regular unemployment ends in 2 weeks and not sure what my next step is to get an extension for my weekly benefits??
Help!!
I can’t believe that they have our relief money and will NOT HELP US!
I’m getting so worried now and not sure how to get my money!
This sucks
The first phone number given in this article is for the state of Virginia not Nevada. And I can’t seem to find anything relative to my LWA payment situation. I am qualified for all 3 or 6 weeks. I receive $181 weekly and still do and have since May. I am not receiving any other payments. 2 weeks ago for the week of Nov 1st I received a separate payment for $270 (after taxes?) And haven’t received a payment since. All 3 phone numbers to contact NV DETR disconnect you after a recording plays. What is my recourse here?
I would like to know why our state, last to even apply for the free money grant (LWA) from FEMA, applied for three weeks for our group of claimants and it was granted—-then filed for 3 more weeks and it was granted….those funds have been sitting in a bank since September gathering interest…..lots of interest…….yet from the beginning , DETR has announced its claimants will receive “4….possibly 5 weeks of payments.” Excuse me? Why are our state agencies not being accountable? If a private company applied for funds for its employees and then only released 66%-78% of those funds and kept the interest while the employees waited……the owners of that company would be criminally charged and incarcerated——I fail to understand why our state agencies are so brazenly and openly skimming funds without explanation.
My feelings exactly. It is shameful the way this has all been handled. If anything Nevada should have been given more and handled even faster than any other state due to our horrible job losses and high unemployment rate.
I don’t know if I’m eligible or not. I originally filed my claim in July. Received a lump payment Aug 11 which equaled out to my regular weekly benefit amount for 5 weeks but I never got any correspondence saying I was approved. Then I started receiving my regular benefit amount each week after that. On 10/26 I received my weekly amount plus an additional $540 but have no clue what that was or where it came from. I’m so confused on this. Does anyone have any answers for me?
If you opted to have taxes taken out, the $540 sounds like the $600 federal supplement minus taxes.
Sorry, I’m super late tot he party. I filed for partial unemployment 9/29/20, and was approved for $483 weekly. I’ve filed every week since then, my hours went from 40 to 22.5 at work. Late October, I filed my claim on the 24th and on the 25th, it said I had to reactivate the claim. I just filed again for last week, when I went back, it said, reactivate the claim. I just got my first payment of $111 to the debit card. Is the typical? I’m so lost.
Please, anything will help. Thank you advance!
I got the $900 mid October and received the 4th $300 on November 3rd.
I got the Y for week 4 but no money yet. How long does it take?
double check, I got a “Y” also, when I clicked into it they gave themselves $42 because I was “Overpaid?” I haven’t done a thing different, somehow they are implying I “Overpaid Myself?” So now they have my $300 from Federal, helped themselves to another $42 of mine, plus interest. I’m sure this happens to 1 or 2 or 191,707 other unemployed…Wow, $342(191,707)=One Big Not So Private Elected Official Party!! Did any other of My Fellow Unemployed Voters Get That Invite? Can’t go myself, I have Covid, Two of My Daughters have Covid, My Step-Mom Has Covid, My Dad is 76 and in the Hospital Dying from Covid, days to live. Guess They think I don’t REALLY need that $342……
what is this y people on here talking about that they got for week 4! I have recieve my week 4 payment but dont see a y next to the week! what is the y? Im waiting on week 5!
Still no 4th week pending or otherwise. I finally got a job but I have no money for gas to get there. WTF NEVADA?? Get your shit together. How are families suppose to survive. I might not be able to start this job now
Same for me. Got the first three weeks but nothing showing for the 4th week payment at all. Not even a Y or pending to go on card. This is bull.
Hi everyone
I haven’t received any LWA payment. At this point, does this mean I am not eligible? I’ve been receiving UI since July and more than $100. Worried here. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you!
Reason for you being unemployed has to be caused because of covid-19… if not your not eligible
I haven’t received my regular unemployment for 11/10 let alone the extra 300. Has any received their regular unemployment?
Hi everyone
To try and help clarify things, NV is eligible for all 6 weeks of LWA. That being said, if you got the first lump $900 and were still eligible and receiving benefits for the following 3 weeks after starting Aug. 22 – sept. 5 and you were getting at least $100 in benefits then you will get the additional $300 per week however they are rolling out those payments and taking 2 weeks each time in between starting last week Mon. 11-1. Today is also a paid holiday so that is why some might not see it yet today but you should have your $300 for week 4 by this Friday or at least have it pending and see the LWA in your claimant homepage under week 8/22.. hopefully this helps. Take care!
So I recieved one week of the 300 and my husband recieved all 3 weeks of the 1st 300 payments. But we have not seen the 4th week at all we are on the eua the extended unemployment assistance program and nothing on our claimant page shows any additional payments wht would we revieve the 1st 3 weeks of the fema relief money and nothing thereafter im do confused cause we just talked to a lady from unemployment and she said it was only 3 weeks. Wtf
Thank you for this, wondered when week five would appear as it was not on my card today, 11/17. Will be looking for it next week.
Just got my week 4 today. Along with weekly benefit.
I still don’t show anything for week 4 pmt. I have a y on every week and recieved the initial 900 but any clue when I’ll see the 4 wk pmt it’s been two weeks.
This is regarding the 13-week PEUC benefits… Has anyone filed for this program and actually received the money yet? I filed 7 weeks ago after regular unemployment ran out and it STILL says “pending resolution”. And of course I can’t get anyone on the phone from unemployment. Just seeing if anyone else has had the same issue.
Kelly I’m in exactly the same situation. When I did get thru to detr they said adjudication process was 14 -16 wks out . I recieved the lwa 900 pm almost 3 wks ago but nothing on week 4 yet.
So they told you it would take 14-16 weeks to Finally get the PEUC payments?? Omg the program itself is only 13 weeks!! Unbelievable!
I am in the same boat Kelley. I filed for the PEUC and received a letter that I was approved and given a weekly $ amount and then did not receive any weekly benefits. Oddly enough, I received the lump sum of $900 and then the week for of $300, but no weekly unemployment benefit going on 8 weeks now. I did speak to a guy in fraud and he told me it was a simple matter of someone just clicking on approved. He could not do it because it was not his department. So, no, you are not alone in your situation.
Same here
I just got my week 4 payment last Thursday or Friday… Can’t recall exactly, but definitely received it. And week 5 should be on the way soon guys! Hold tight!
Well we’re still waiting for week 4
Unfortunately im still waiting for my additional weeks of pay. I have only received the $900 from a few weeks ago and thats it. I just dont understand why this is taking so long?
Me either this is a total mess, then as of Monday our main call center has been shut down due to someone having C-19 yet it’s not like they were answering anyways. Hope they don’t have a excuse for that as well but they said they were rolling them out as of Monday coming for all those receiving anything other than PUA yet I still don’t have a Y for my deductions I don’t know this is annoying.
I only record 1 payment of $300 this week !’
What is taking so long, this is very difficult not to have the rest of the money…
Very disappointed
Just wondering has anybody received their fourth week of LWA? I I got the $900 like 2 weeks ago and nothing since. I’ve been keeping up on here every day to see if anything has changed, but I’m just wondering this week did anybody get that fourth payment? I don’t get why it’s taking so long since every state is basically paid. I had the Y’s for the first 3 weeks and it said LWA, but on the next week I can click on the Y but it doesn’t say lwa I’m starting to get a little stressed again. Does anybody know if it’s just going to go on our weekly money or it can show up at any time my $900 showed up with my weekly money and what I’ve read is at the end of October its going to be in the next week or so, it’s already almost the middle of the month what’s going to happen or what’s going on does anybody really know?
Im in the same boat, they said it could take 10 days so 2 business weeks to have everyone paid week 4. Mine showed those LWA on the Y on first 3 weeks too, but I got mine the last 2 days out of the 2 weeks they sent the batches so I’m expecting we should have our week 4 payment at least confirmed or deposited no later than this Friday since this is the 2nd week they’ve started processing week 4 payments. Hope that helps!! :)
I just checked the Y’s and it shows the 3 we already got paid but 8/23 when I click the Y it dont show the LWA. I really hope we get it tomorrow. I know people that got the 4th last week. This is so screwed up and unfair how there doing this and making us wait so long, and get stressed out. I just want to go back to work and forget about this shit unemployment. Its really ridiculous. Hopefully tomorrow
I’m trying to see where you can see about the payment of the LWA on your homepage. Please tell me how. Thank you
I received week four LWA Thursday the 12th. Four weeks after the $900. Hopefully this isn’t a four week process. I haven’t read of other states having this level of difficulty. Welcome to the new Nevada.
It’s disgusting, they don’t have to send out a week at a time to see when they run out of funds. Sounds like a sisajack idea, he’s dumb as they get. Thanks to trump we are even having this conversation. Are b.s. government is to worried about embarrassing more nation wide over this voter fraud crap.
Anyone get their 4th week yet? This is so pathetic of Nevada I have yet to see it yet.
Yes today I got week 4
There is hope
Hang in there
Nope, still waiting for it now this is the weirdest way to issue money anyways. Other states have gotten theirs in one lump sum but not us this is ridiculous!!! Yet don’t see the deductions yes it’s still a No but yet we got our first set. This isn’t rocket science.
Only 3 more weeks of $300 if you qualified all 6 weeks retroactive from Aug.1-Sept.5. Trump Executive Order For PEUC was only 3 weeks of $300 and your state had to cover extra $100 or any extensions in benefits there after. UI NV only says I had the deductions for three of those weeks and received only $900.
If you were eligible all 6 weeks for reg UI aug 1- sept 5 then yes you will still get the additional $300 after our first lump sum, many I work with got theirs already however it’s taking DETR 2 weeks each time to send them out, not weekly. I suspect you should have it by end of week this Friday at least pending to go into your acct. Monday. Don’t forget today is a holiday too, so they probably weren’t putting anything in. Hope this helps, I’m in the same boat.
I have received only the first 900. It shows yes No deductions like before for first payment. It has N instead of Y.. do you have any idea what this means?
I got my 4th week. My UI regular claim ended the week of 8-15. You will get it eventually. I got mine today 11-18. PEUC does qualify for weeks 4-6, assuming there is a 5th or 6 week. Hang tight you will get it.
Correction, meant to say Executive Order on LWA program
Question… i got the $900 lwa but didnt get the 4th week this week and im not seeing a “Y” on my deduction. Did anyone of u guys got ur 4th week yet? Please just worried thats all . Thank u
Same here I got the 900 but haven’t seen anything else and my deductions also say n. :( Honestly the lack of communication from DETR is so frustrating, I’ve learned more from these comments than from the unemployment offices.
Hi M.B.V., if you received the $900, I wouldn’t worry about it, as long as you’re found eligible for the remaining 3 wks. I didn’t even get the $900 until 2 days ago, the day after I got the 4th wk. I believe they’ll input the remaining weeks each week. Hopefully the letter “Y” will show up for you soon. Good luck!!
Maddie, Are you UI or PUA?
Hi Lynn, UI, well now PEUC
Thank u. Every penny counts right now. The $300 is a big help. I hope ill be able to get it next week.
You’re welcome M.B.V. And yes, I agree, every penny counts. Hope you get week 4 soon
Will the rest of Nevada see the deductions shown for weeks 8/22-9/5.
Hi Michell, I just responded to you but I don’t see my comment ??? Maybe it’ll show up later. So All I said is that I think the remaining 3 weeks, under deductions, the letter “Y’s” you’re talking about, will be entered after each payment is complete. You may not see anything at the moment bc your payment hasn’t processed yet…that’s my guess
Well this comment posted, the other one is more detailed, hopefully it’ll pop up later
Michell, if this helps, I just checked my homepage and only deductions show for first 4 weeks so far
And where’s Andy???? Haha.. sorry Andy, I’m not trying to to take over, I’ll leave it to you to answer/ respond to everyone..thanks again for all the info, really appreciate it
Not sure if anyone can answer this for me but i reveived the lump sum of $900 but it shows a N for the additional 3 weeks so im not getting the full 6 weeks of extra pay? Nothing changed in how i filed so im not sure why im not eligible? I do receive a partial pay from my job but i have lost wages due to covid so i guess my unemployment is an exception to the general rule of receiving unemployment? I mean i received the extra $600 we all got in the beginning just cant figure out what makes me ineligible to receive the extra $300 for the other weeks? Any input is appreciated. Thank u.
Talked to unemployment on the phone this morning and they are only doing 3 weeks she said. So the 900 is all we are getting.
Not true. Rosa Mendez, the agency spokeswoman said that the second-round payments will be sent one week at a time.
“We are planning to start the release of week four’s payment next week,” Mendez said. “If it rolls out as round one did, we expect it to take up to 10 days. Once that is complete, we will be sure we have enough money left in the grant, and then we’ll OK paying Week 5.”
Yah thats a lie haha they are sending the 4th week starting soon that unemployment idiot lied to you.
I waited on hold for 6 hours, talked to two different people and they both said the 900 is all we are getting.
I hope they are wrong but I am just relaying the message to you all.
Relaying false info is sad tim. I already have my 4th week showing up on my deductions along with a bunch of others so you are lying.
I have nothing on my page
Nothing under the deduction area
Just a big fat N lol
Still hoping
Andy, you’re amazing,but it shouldn’t be up to Brent, you, or anybody to find little “tricks” to find out when benefits will come. DETR and the state need to be informative and at least try to show they care. Other states haven’t had these kinds of issues.
Not your fault Andy, but Ms. Mendez was a little off. It took four weeks between 1-3 and number four for me. Running a bit behind I suppose.
The ui employee dont know what there talking about lol. Nevada has a 4th week being sent out not sure when.
Oh doesnt that freaking figure! Thanks Nevada! Im more impressed though that you got through and actually were able to speak to someone.
Well guys after I texted that long message, the $900 finally showed up wed morning, I checked my deductions on claimant homepage, where Brent said to look and low and behold the “Y’s” showed up and I believe there is even a week 4 showing. So thank you guys @Brent @Andy for all the info. Sorry for the previous long text that I typed yesterday afternoon but it didn’t post until today. Good luck everyone, just be patient, looks like week 4 is on it’s way
Did your 4th week arrived?
Hi Sunshine, yes on 11/5, yesterday, hopefully you’ll get it soon
Thanks Maddie for the quick reply. You eased my mind. Have a safe blessed evening…
Haha you’re welcome Sunshine. Just be patient, I’ve been reading all these articles regarding when funds would be distributed and completed by last Thursday which obviously wasn’t true bc I just received my first 3 weeks two days ago, I believe they’re still paying out the first batch and looks like the 4th week will take awhile too so I’m pretty sure you’ll get it, just keep checking on claimant homepage (Brent’s trick) click on the dates for aug/ beginning of sept and check to see if there’s a “Y” under deductions for those dates. From all the articles I read, looks like we will get paid weekly for the remaining 3 weeks so you won’t see the next letter “Y” until 4th week is paid, if that makes any sense.. sorry my short texts end up being a novel hahaha .. I used to work with a Sunshine and I knew another one from when I was in high school, we were both cheerleaders at different schools..funny if you’re one of the Sunshines Have a great weekend!!
Whoever thought of Brent’s trick must be a genius
Hahaha quite the genius you are!!! Thanks again Brent!!
Saw the article Brent and Andy were referring to. Hopefully this may answer some of your concerns. I was on the phone w/ unemployment 3 times in the last week. When I initially filed my UI claim back in march, I wasn’t given the question regarding wether I was partially unemployed or unemployed due to covid. I wasn’t able to self certify on the unemployment website. I had a feeling this would affect me receiving LWA funds, bc I qualified making over $100/wk and was on UI back in August, well actually since March. I know there were a few of you asking how to do self certify. You have to call DETR so they can update your claim. When I called them, the rep asked his supervisor and that issue was taken care of. So it stated “Yes” on my claim now but then I asked when would I be receiving any funds? Honestly DETR claims they have no way of checking and that I would just have to keep logging into my BoA debit account and hopefully I get something. I was told that I was definitely eligible and there shouldn’t be a prob. I called them last monday 10/26. I called back on wed, 10/28 bc I saw the trick that Brent posted and had other questions again, btw thank you to Brent, I didn’t have any letter Y’s under deductions for 8/1, 8/8, 8/15, but I figured that had to do w/ my claim just recently getting taken care of. Obviously under deductions there prob wouldn’t be any letter “y’s” since those weeks were already paid out to me. This rep basically told me the same as the other rep, they have no idea if a claimant will be receiving any LWA funds, they said they have no control over that and payments are sent out in batches otherwise their system would crash. They both told me to call back yesterday if I didn’t see anything and of course nothing still. Sorry this email is so long but I was trying to answer some of your concerns. So when I spoke to the rep yesterday, she had the same thing to tell me but I brought up the article that Brent and Andy mentioned earlier bc I too read that they were finished paying out the lump sum of $900 last Thursday per spokeswoman Rosa Mendez, the rep said “I don’t think we’re finished paying out the initial funds ($900) bc we would’ve received an email” she asked one of her supervisors and supposedly they are still not finished paying out the $900, so maybe still some hope for me and some others out there. With that being said, that could possibly be why you guys haven’t received week 4 yet? Kinda makes sense right? But please don’t quote me on that. I’m just stating what DETR told me. To answer the other question, the guys on here, Brent and Andy are right, 6 weeks are to be paid out. You should be receiving the first 3 wks as a lump sum of $900 then they will follow up with weeks 4-6, one week at a time. The rep ended our convo saying, “just wait a few more weeks and hopefully you get the $900, but if you call us, there’s nothing we can do on our end except check to see wether you were paid the funds or not.” Why did all 3 reps tell me to call back if I didn’t see any money but at the same time they can’t do anything about it.. so much for a short email. I think I just wrote a book haha..I like to be very thorough, so again sorry for the longest email. that was 3 days of speaking to DETR since last Monday. even one of the DETR reps asked me if I wanted to work there.. hahaha..umm.. no thanks..just give us our money!! Haha
Latest news this was an article from 0ctober 30th
The next round of federal $300-a-week benefits for jobless Nevadans is scheduled to start hitting bank accounts next week.
The Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation said it finished paying the first round of the Lost Wages Assistance program to eligible claimants Thursday. The federally funded program provides an extra $300 a week to Nevada residents who receive at least $100 a week in benefits from unemployment insurance or the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program.
Rosa Mendez, the agency spokeswoman, told the Review-Journal that second-round payments will be sent one week at a time.
“We are planning to start the release of week four’s payment next week,” Mendez said. “If it rolls out as round one did, we expect it to take up to 10 days. Once that is complete, we will be sure we have enough money left in the grant, and then we’ll OK paying Week 5.”
BTW how gross is it that she is saying we might get a 5th week.
Wow, what do you mean “ok paying week 5”? Nevada was given enough to pay up to 6 weeks, Fema confirmed 6 weeks of funding and I cannot understand why it is given week by week instead of a lump sum, what part don’t you guys get??. At a time like this, that money is a lifeline. We are struggling to put food on the table, pay for bills.
That was from a new article i did not write it
Lol.. I know I was replying to the article,
That’s right in Sept.Nevada get $224.million than ask and approved an additional $199 million this together $423 million they have to pay all these 6 weeks no matter what They get $423million no more BS enough is enough
Yea, they always have some sort of excuse not to release any funds, its all about the money to keep as much as they can. Meanwhile people are loosing their homes, families their sanity and heir self worth.
I still have Not received any additional funds.. this is ridiculous….
With the incompetence of nevada dont expect it this week just being honest.
Still haven’t received the first round!!! Not even many others that I’ve spoken to. So weird not sure if we are even going to get it
I haven’t received anything either !!getting very frustrated
Hi Noemi and Lisa. I didn’t receive the first round, lump sum, until 2 days ago, then I got my 4th week yesterday. If you scroll back up, I wrote the longest messsge regarding LWA. Just make sure you self certify, when I initially filed my UI claim back in march, I wasn’t given the question asking if I was unemployed due to covid, so I called DETR to have them fix it, which now made me eligible. Also, make sure you made at least $100/ week, I think before taxes, during the month of Aug. and beginning of sept. also you may not have been processed yet, when I spoke to DETR last Monday, the rep asked her supervisor and told me that they were still distributing the first round, lump sum of $900..she said it would take awhile, that is true bc I didn’t get my money until 2 days ago..DETR stated, they have to do it in batches otherwise their system will crash. Just be patient, hopefully you both will receive LWA soon.. hope this helps, good luck
Well today is November 03,2020. No one got paid the 4th week yet. Let’s see if Mendez is pulling our legs.
It shows my 4th payment pending in my dashboard so hopefully soon
It showed pending in mine on Monday then it disappeared on Tuesday. I don’t know why I got my hopes up!!! I should’ve known better!
Wrong I received my $300.00 on 11/2/20
Hey if your deductions are showing up for the remaining weeks is this supposed to start for everybody, cus mines haven’t been deducted yet
Its only showing up for one more week not all 6. I got 4 weeks with lwa but i have not received my 4th week yet. They said the 4th week would take 10 days to get everyone so they are doing it in batches again im guessing
Does anyone know when were soppose to starr recieving the last 3 weeks. And why is it every state but oirs gets theres in lump sums ya the 300 a week helps but the lumo sums sure helps you catch up a little when you behimd.
No one knows and we ain’t getting 900 more because this state was the last to apply so we only getting 2 more payments of 300 not 3. Neveda is approved for 1500 a person since there was nothing left. Blame the idiot governor for your suffering
Nevada was awarded $423 million out of that about $69 million was paid out for the 3 weeks were is the rest. This whole state is corrupted
Yesss that’s the truth CORRUPT Disgusting people just remember this when the Election coming Mr.Sisolak Well these men don’t care he’s living a lavish lifestyle when in he’s State people suffering.
Have you yet received anything this week
Ok.. We got 3 weeks total $900. When to we get the other 2-3 weeks due for NV.
When’s the next 3 lwa payment. The first 3 were sent out already but no dates on last 3.
Probably aint getting them its nevada they have stolen so much money from the people its sickening
I’ve been on regular UI since this all started back in March and we were told in Nevada if you lost your job due to pandemic and make over $100 for the qualifying weeks in August you get it. Well here we are Halloween and Nothing . No money no update … No Y under deductions for those weeks I’ve heard about absolutely nothing.. this State Governor as well as UI system is a Joke.. it’s simple messed up I have no idea what’s going on and it’s hard enough being unemployed but when you’re not paid what you expect and are eligible for.. that’s just Unacceptable.. if anyone else has most recent updates with same problem please respond..GOD Bless
Hi CJ, scroll back up to see how to self certify. I posted but not sure if it’s up yet. Basically you have to call DETR and a rep has to change it in the system, they’ll put yes under the covid question. Just read what I posted. Hope this helps and Good luck
Since receiving my LWA 900$ 2 weeks ago i have not for 2 weeks now received my weekly benefit amount even though it shows as being paid. Called to find out wtf waited on hold 4 hours… Im super stressed out any body else have this issue or am i just that lucky..?
I have also read the same that Nevada was approved for 6 weeks total and that after the first 3 we will see 1 to 2 more weeks!!!!!!!!!?
Nevada better not keep the money.
How could we find out? That makes me so mad.
Even if we found out no one would do anything. That’s why corruption is so easy people are too busy smoking weed and watching Netflix to fight back.
I’m not smoking weed and can’t afford to pay Netflix anymore but how about we reach out to a class action attorney and see what their thoughts on it are in regards to getting the full amount of money we are owed and start also reaching out to the people at FEMA in charge of issuing the funds? I’m game to start it if I have others support. Who wants in? I’m completely serious.
Useless sorry people have tried going down the legal route and the judges shot them down. It would take mass numbers and violence to change things so it’s never happening. We need to literally grab sisolak and throw him from a bridge to prove a point lol.
Yes. Me too. Mine does not say paid. It just stopped!!!
The LWA finally showed up on my claimant page this morning (Thursday 10/29). Hopefully that means it will be in the account tomorrow.
Mine showed up on saturday and i got it tuesday but still a possibility it comes tomorrow
Hey Brent
Have u yet received the second batch
No, nobody has yet I believe.
Just wanna know how to self certify and if all ui claimants will receive-300! Per week? My claim started 8/27/2020
However no you had to had been had a claim open since the Covid started and on the 1st of August you would get that back pay of 300 for those first 3weeks and also have to been received $100 or more for your claim pay outs weekly.
Okay so I read somewhere that they were in the start putting out the extra 300 a week with this week’s claim I received my normal claim no lost wages assistance again this week know why by my clean for me to click on I have been on unemployment since day one of the covid-19 virus situation with no issues with my claim I receive the first 900 but I haven’t received anything else I know you say there’s a place to self certify I have no place to self certify on my page anywhere so I called them and they have no clue none they don’t know what to do or what to tell me they have no idea how they are determining who gets the money or who doesn’t or when it will happen or if it will happen quote on quote I waited online and on hold for about an houso I guess I really just want to know does anybody else show that they’re going to receive the 300 with this week’s claim?
Andy do you know when the second batch of $900 could possibly be deposited. I know they said end of October just trying to get a clearer understanding. Thanks
Sadly we live in the shitty state of nevada so we only get 5 weeks of pay not 6 and they said we get it one week at a time not in a lump some. So maybe 300 a week on top our next 2 weeks of unemployment
Ok I was thinking that but didn’t know for sure. Well it’s still a big help…thanks
I live in nv too and still havnt recived any back pay any idea why and i was laid off do to covid and clamied weeks everyone is Eligible for
I too am wondering. It would be nice to get a bill knocked out. I’ve read subsequent payment was coming the last week of October. Well, this is the last week of October and nothing, not a word from DETR. If you can’t do it then send a message that says so. They always keep us in darkness. Quite rude.
Hello guys! So I’ve been working only 4/5 hours during the 8/1-8/22 weeks.
My Weekly benefit amount is over $100, but during those weeks I got paid less than $100 in UI (since I worked those 4/5 hours)
Am I still eligible for the extra $300?
Thank you!!!
To be honest its doubtful. I have talked with another guy with the same situation amd he was not able to recieve LWA
It’s based on your benefit allowable. I did the same thing and got the $900 even tho I only received $79 in unemployment for those 3 weeks.
I just received $810 plus $300 last week and was totally confused. I’m guessing it’s the $900 for 3 weeks of pay, minus taxes? I’m grateful for it because I have a huge bill this week, but will we get another payment? For just another 3 weeks like were promised? Or is it supposed to be a pay out til the end of December? Trying to understand where the money is supposed to be coming from.
900 was from the LWA we are supposed to be getting 300 a week for the next 3 weeks for the other 900 because nevada is run my idiots. Im using my LWA to move to Arizona this place is shit.
No shitt? How long have you been on unemployment for?! Because I received the first $900 lump sum but I’m still waiting for the extra $300-$600 It’s always something with DETR. I get that they’ve never had such a large amount of claimants in history but you’d think with our technology nowadays things would have gone alot smoother as far as issuing our payments❗Like come on noww, don’t get me started on the amount of people who are struggling here in Vegas♂️It’s sad❗
Got my 900 looks like my trick to tell if we got paid was correct.
My husband applied for PUA in July and hasn’t received anything yet. The website just says “processing”. 45 days ago they said he would receive his benefit in 30 days. We call and can never get through. Does anyone have info on this situation? Thanks.
My wife’s is the same when she filed her claim the emailed us say you meet all the guide lines and you are financially eligible that was in June after a month of calling every day we finally got through to have them tell us our claim was under investigation we thought to our selves that it was bull shit well a week after that we got a msg from them saying your claim has gone through an investigation and we have found nothing wrong with your claim your claim is approved that was in July here it is almost November and we have not seen one cent and last week the whole page of our weekly certification says DISQUALIFYING WEEK for all our back pay and certs I think everything they are doing is wrong here we are up front and honest to get stepped on and drug threw the mudd and all these criminals who are commiting fraud are being approved and receiving money I don’t know what these people are doing but me and my wife have a 15 month old daughter we are facing eviction about to be homeless and they have approved us we have uploaded every document and more and we still have no money coming in from what we are approved for and we are owed $19,000 dollors of back pay and to make things worse they put our claim back under investigation I have emailed the governor ,Detr and they said they can’t do nothing it’s on PUA not only is the govonor unfit to run this state but nv is a joke i think it’s time to sue for slot more than we are owed .
I should be able to see if I’m certified on my regular UI claimant homepage?
Has anyone received the $900 but it not show on your claimant page?
Also those who only received 2 payments were you eligible for all 3?
So I found a way to tell if you have been approved and how to tell how much you’re getting. Login to your Claimant homepage. Go to the dates of 8/1, 8/8, and 8/15, and if you look at the deductions it should be “Y” for yes click on the “Y” and it will say “Lost wage Assistance” then -300 dollars for those 3 dates. This is good don’t freak out it means your approved. Sorry if this is confusing its hard to explain because it shows up in a weird spot. I only found this because of another post I made where other people pointed it out so a lot of people who didn’t get paid are seeing this pop-up. We think the funds where come tuesday but possibly tomorrow. I hope this helps some people.
It really is true I just checked….thanks for the heads up info..
Thank you I checked and seen just what you said
Thanks alot Sheila. Youve relieved the stress level and thats a big deal.
Thanks a ton Brent it helps alot.
No problem wanted others to feel the relief im feeling.
I like to ask you why I have a Y for only three weeks I’m owed 6
I filed our weekly claim my husband and mine yesterday and I look at his page and he has a why for this week’s and I do not there has been absolutely no change at all in an hour income or situation so I’m curious to know why there would be a why by this week’s claim on his and not on mine
Well, you only get 3 weeks at first as a lump sum. This is Nevada the worse state in America we applied last because our governor is a moron so you don’t get 6 weeks. They are paying 5 and the other 2 weeks of pay come the following weeks. Also, I’m guessing your husband has a yes for this week because he has taxes deducted.
No he hasn’t opted to have taxes taken out in any way he recently applied for the extension like 2 weeks ago and I haven’t had to do that yet mine has not exhausted but I have had no change and I have Wise by the last three weeks that they gave it to me but nothing for this week this week is an end and on his it is a y
You will get them later they’re only giving us 900 right now be happy and thankful for what were getting
Okay, but what if I wasn’t getting any deductions? I won’t be able to see anything? Because there is nothing there for me to click on.
They switch to a clickable Y if your getting it or maybe they have not processed you yet they are doing it through out the week.
Hello Brent, I click on the “Y” for each week & it only shows the taxes deducted, no -300. My initial claim was due to Covid, yet here it is Tues the 27th & I’ve received nothing. Last night my regular unemployment amount went onto my card, but nothing more. I don’t see anywhere to self-certify either. Can you help with any info?
It’s hard to help Corey because if the LWA is not showing up on those dates then they either have not processed you as they are doing it in batches or somehow you do not qualify. Were you unemployed in August on those dates and were you getting more the $100 a week? If yes to both you do qualify and they might not have got to you yet, If you do not see anything by Thursday I would call them they might have messed up.
That was awesome info, thank you Brent.
What should I do if I do not have Y under deductions, does this mean I do not qualify for the funds? I need it and I haven’t received any additional funds.. thanks Lisa
Can anyone who has completed SELF CERTIFY please leave a comment describing exactly where to find this mystery qualifier. Thank you so much.
You’re certifying just by filing your weekly claim. No special, separate certification.
I am struggling to understand why Nevada is the 2nd hardest hit state financially but we were the VERY LAST to apply for aid. I don’t know how it all works, but basic logic and reasoning would dictate that because our do-nothing Democrat dragged his stupid ass so long that the well has run dry. If states want Democrat policies for some reason, their budgets should have a surplus and median wages 50k+ on average. Only a wealthy state can afford this nonsense. For Example Boca Raton Florida has been Democrat run by my old pals Barry Silver, Irv Slosberg, and his daughter Emily Slosberg and it is just fine. There is a surplus in such a wealthy community and( D) policies are just fine. Poor cities need (R) until we can afford (D). You feel me? It is ass backwards in most places. High crime, high poverty, and unemployment areas need a Democrat to save them like they need a hole in the head!! Let the Dems ONLY control wealthy cities and USA will thrive. Putting a Democrat in an ailing city or state is like trying to get $ out of the homeless guy passed out on my stairwell. Pointless and fruitless!
Amen, our ill minded govenor is a total joke!! Can’t stand his stupid self. What a total failer he has been in every possible way.
I spoke with someone at Detr and they told me I should receive my $900 lwa benefits by Friday. They said the benefits are going out in batches beginning from Last Friday. For the record I receive UI benefits.
How did you self certify for LWA
You have to go into the DETR UI system (see their website or links in article). It is important to note that payments will go out to ONLY those claimants that indicated their claim was filed as a result of COVID and were getting over $100 from other UI programs. Claimants who are determined ineligible for UI or PUA unemployment benefits during any of the weeks would not be eligible for LWA.
This whole thing is beyond believable, we were the last to get approved out of 50 states plus Guam and Puerto Rico. There’s always an issue, whether the great decision to change managment several times at deter in weeks. Or waiting for approval to apply for Lwa.
We are short handed at deter, really? Oh having tech problems with system to pay its, or not making last 600 payment as scheduled. We have the highest unemployment numbers in the nation. Seems like no priority of the big guy, to busy working about mail in ballot crap. They start some task Force to get things up to speed, really effective. Say we have no money left, I bet closing down every tax source in state. Like the DMV, what a joke that is, got an appointment for x mas eve. Soonest available what a joke, hope everybody really thinks about all this when voting. Our first Democrat Governor in years really took care of us? Or these useless hacks like Lee not putting in any effort to get help for nevada being the most impacted. But getting money for herself. This is inexcusable, I was middle of the isle, not anymore. Going right,is common sense. Sorry for the novel, could go on for 20 more pages. God bless us all!#
I received my lwa (900$) but did not receive my regular wba even though it shows its been paid out and there is a transaction number. What do i do?
I see some comments from Nevada saying that the payments are exhausted and nobody’s gonna get anymore that’s not what I hear every where else. I haven’t got mine yet im stressing bad, is Nevada still playing Andy do you know anything
Not true, all states got funding for 6 weeks.
I filed my regular claim last week I got the $900 this week I got nothing
not true, florida only got 4
I’ve been getting UI since the start. Do I have to self certify or redo my claim In order to receive the LWA. If anyone knows something let me know.
Yes, if you were not getting your unemployment through the PUA program then you will need to certify/verify you are eligible for LWA.
how does one “certify/verify” ?
Please let me know how to self certify for LWA. I can’t find any link on the DETR Self Service Portal.
It was told to me from a supervisor from the unemployment office that the benefits were exhausted, If its not true… I wonder why haven’t i received a dime yet?
On my UI claim I verified already when I first started my UI claim. What else needs to be done?
I do not receive my unemployment through the pua program the regular unemployment program last week I got my regular claim plus my $900 this week I got my regular claim no link on my page to self certify so I called them and they told me they don’t know what link I’m talking about and they told me they don’t know how they are determining who gets the money or not they have no clue when you do get through to them the young man had no idea but yet he’s answering the phones they can’t fix a problem when you call they have no clue if you qualified for the first 900 why should you have to do anything else to qualify for the next 300 paymentsthe article you shared says self-certify there is no place to self certify anywhere they’re not putting the links up at all
The payments for regular claimant started yesterday so where is my payment I file normal every week. DETR hurry up!
Oh really well I’m just going to go to the office while I’m out
From my understanding, several people under the PUA program have received LWA payments as part of the initial rollout here in NV. All of those eligible should be receiving their initial payments of LWA over the next week or so. At least that’s my understanding. For the record, I’m on UI and haven’t seen a dime of LWA yet.
I was told today around 4:30pm that Nevada has run out of funds!!! So those that didn’t get it wont get it. Sad because I had to have my claim fixed do to issues. It got fixed but i was also told it wouldn’t make a difference do to them being exhausted.
That doesn’t make any sense because Nevada just rolled out money in test run on the 17 and supposedly making the rest of the payment to people over the course of this week. Then the next amount goes out next week. Nobody’s really been paid yet.
I know ppl who actually have got their payments ppl are just randomly getting them at different times of the day.
Facts . The governor said the test roll out began last week and those on ui don’t have to do anything the payments of 900 will automatically be paid in batches thru the end of this week, then on the 26th new week, the additional 300 per week will be applied when benefits are claimed until Nevada runs out of funds. Since the president declined the federal funding and Nevada also being a democratic state it was a political punishment if you will and the states were forced to find funding, implement a way to distribute . Sad but true and folks are suffering but it’s coming.
How true is that
Has all UI received Lea? I’m still currently waiting hoping to see it sometime this week..
Like what do they mean when they say self certify because I have been out of work since this thing all started. Got the $600 til the end. We here in Nevada don’t see any link that says self certify unless that’s for the new filers. We just file as usual as they stated we don’t have to do anything but yet we’re hearing that phrase ( self certify) what’s going on here
I live in Nevada. I’ve been on unemployment this whole pandemic, no issues. Wondering why I only received 2wks of the lwa instead of 3wks.
Me neither i have not had any problems until now looking for the LWA PAYMENTS haven’t received not one but I see a lot have gotten them I’m just trying to figure out what’s going on, when this is the day for the official roll out.
I just got 3 weeks of payments $900 total in LWA money. It was posted to my account last night. I want to know when we will be paid the other 3 weeks that NV was approved and funded for. Everything I see says maybe we will get 1-2 weeks. We should get the other 3 for $1800 total. The state better not keep our money!
Your lucky you got the first three so many more haven’t received anything!
Just an update on the federal 300 a week. I got my regular ui paid, plus an additional 810.00 which I’m assuming is 3 weeks of the 300.00 a week (900.00) minus taxes.
It is exactly that. Thanks for sharing that update – will be good news for many
Im in Nevada and haven’t gotten any LWA yet just my regular ui today when should I get it? I’m stressing out bad..
You should call in the a.m. , I was told that there is no more money from Fema. In other words that was used Nevada’s benefits are exhausted. Smh , but I hope it’s not true, because Im a single mom and bills are touching the roof and I cry every day alone in my room to not worry my children. Im So heart broken.
It came (900) early this am.. hope starts showing up for everyone! Seems like the comment about the “Y” for deductions and it says -300 lost wages assistance is true.
