[2022 Update] The $300 supplementary payment made in 2020 and 2021, ended in all states on September 6th, 2021 (some states ended it earlier).
Unless claims are in the adjudication process, At this stage all retroactive payments (including those for PUA and PEUC) have also been processed and no new payments are being made.
An extension of unemployment benefits, including the $300 payment, is not likely for 2022 and beyond unless economic conditions deteriorate significantly. I will post updates as they come to light.

____________
The latest (ARPA) stimulus package was passed by Congress and signed into law by the President Biden on March 11th, 2021. It includes further extensions to pandemic unemployment programs (PUA and PEUC) and an extra $300 weekly FPUC supplementary UI payment. The latest supplementary $300 payment will be paid over 25 weeks starting from week of March 15th, 2021 to September 6th, 2021. This is in addition to the previous extension covering 11 weeks from December 27th, 2020 to March 14th, 2021. Eligible payments will be made retroactively in cases where state unemployment agencies face delays with rolling out system updates to process these payments.
The $300 weekly unemployment payment will be made above and beyond any regular state or enhanced federal unemployment payment and require eligible claimants to certify regularly according to their state UI agency guidelines. Claimants will need to be eligible for at least $1 of an underlying unemployment benefit to receive the $300 supplemental payment under the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) program.
You do not need to take any additional action to receive this supplemental payment. States are slowly rolling out these payments for different groups of claimants starting with those already getting regular UI and state extended benefits (active claimants). Those who have exhausted benefits prior to the extensions being rolled out or new claimants will only be able to get payments once their underlying claim is approved.
I will update dates in the table below as states implement these guidelines and start making making actual payments. Please leave a comment if you find updated or incorrect information reflected in the table and I will review/update accordingly. Details on why this payment could be delayed due to PEUC or PUA roll-outs are discussed in this video.
State unemployment departments and agencies will be responsible for disbursing these benefit payments, similar to the $300 LWA and earlier $600 FPUC supplementary unemployment programs. Given the many challenges and various payment issues across states with earlier supplementary UI benefit programs, I expect this to take some time to be rolled out and require retroactive payments to get claimants caught up. So stay tuned and subscribe to get the latest updates. You can also see this $300 FPUC video for more details on this program.
Lost Wages Assistance (LWA) program – Now Expired
The temporary $300 unemployment benefit under the Lost Wages Assistance (LWA) program funding has now been paid in all states who participated in the program. The program expiry date was December 27th, 2020 and this means that any new or retroactive payments under this program will NO longer be paid out going forward. This has been replaced by the new $300 FPUC payment discussed above.
This supplementary payment was a temporary, but much needed benefit for unemployed or underemployed workers who lost the supplementary $600 FPUC weekly payment at the end of July. There was a lot of confusion on when the $300 would actually be paid by state UI agencies which led to the creation of the LWA state tracker table below, which shows the payment status and actual or estimated future date claimants can expect their first weekly unemployment payment, if eligible. You can also see the 1000+ comments from readers that share their experiences around the LWA payment, including some very useful tips if you are facing issues getting your $300 LWA payment.
All states that applied and were approved by FEMA were only initially awarded three weeks of funding – covering the weeks of August 1st, 8th and August 15th. After that, states and territories will need to submit a Lost Wages Additional Week Request one week at a time for funding to pay claims for subsequent weeks. However any additional funding is subject to the $44 billion budget that is available for this program and it is almost certain that funding will run out before the December 27th expiry of this program, unless Congress approves additional funding via a formal UI benefits extension.
In fact, at this stage approved states will only get a maximum of 6 weeks of funding (weeks covering August 1st to September 5th) for the LWA program per recent FEMA guidance to state labor and unemployment agencies that have already made several weeks of payments. Several states which started making the $300 payments earlier than other states have already been notified that their LWA funding allotment has run out and no additional funding beyond will be approved. Note however that some states like Florida will only be applying for and paying 4 weeks of LWA benefits, since they didn’t meet some of the LWA program qualification rules (details here).

Payment Start date is when the state actually started processing LWA payments OR is the estimated date of the first payment processing based on available information. Note: Due to bank processing delays, it can take 2 to 4 days after the noted dates for benefits to hit your bank account or debit card. Please see links to more information in the table or your state UI website for specific payment status. If you find any mistakes or have updates, please leave a comment below and I will update table to help others.
What if my state has started making payments, but I don’t see my $300?
Claimants in most states do not need to take any action to receive the new benefits available in this program. The additional benefits will be added automatically for all claimants who are eligible and have certified for the relevant week. Their self-certification will ask them to confirm they were unemployed or partially unemployed due to COVID-19. See more FAQs on this here.
However if your state has started making payments and you haven’t received payments you need to first confirm you are eligible. This means you must be receiving at least $100 in weekly unemployment benefit payments (pre tax and before any other deductions). This includes claimants receiving any type of regular unemployment insurance benefits as well as those receiving PUA and PEUC benefits.
If you are eligible and you have not received a payment in several weeks then you will need to contact your state UI agency to ensure the claim has been processed and is not being held up due to fraud, missing/incorrect payment details or due to a weekly or bi-weekly certification issue.
See more in this article on Why Your $300 Unemployment Has Not Been Paid or Delayed.
My state has been approved and the LWA tracker says payments are being made, but when will I get my payment?
The tracker provides an actual or estimated date for the when the LWA payments start being processed by the state. If a start date has been officially published by the state, you will see the status updated to “paying now.” Otherwise it is estimate based on FEMA guidelines or if confirmed by several sources online. However this date (week start date in many cases) may not be the same as the date the actual UI payment will hit your back account or debit card. The actual date you may see the money could be several days after the official state processing start date and tied to your normal UI payment cycle. You will need to confirm via your UI online portal or state agency for the exact payment date.
Also note the payment date is generally the date when payment starts. In many states, due to volume of people being paid, claims are paid out over several days (in batches, based on SSN or First/Last Name). And given processing by banks to disburse these payments via direct deposit or debit cards can take 1 to 2 days, it may take several days after the first payment date for you to receive your payment.
I got my $900 back payment but no payments after that. Why?
The first state LWA grant approved by FEMA was only for three weeks. Hence the $900 payment (3 x $300) is what most people are seeing first, less any taxes or withholding. Subsequent $300 payments are approved and paid on a week by week basis. This includes retroactive payments which will also be staggered. Rest assured if you are eligible for past weeks you will get your payment.
Also the maximum number of weeks that can be paid under the LWA program is 6, which means the maximum payment in most states is $1800 (or $2400 if the state was paying $400 p/week). After the payment of 6 weeks, you will revert to what you were getting under existing unemployment programs.
I am got my first week of payments but not subsequent weeks.
Kristin asked, “My son just got his first payment for the weeks of 08/23 thru 08/29 and 08/30 thru 09/05. He got the extra $300 for the week of 08/23 – 08/29, but did not get the extra $300 for the week of 08/30 thru 09/05. We are in Texas. Do you know why he got it the first week, but not the second week?
Every week is processed separately by the state UI agency subject to FEMA funding. So you may be seeing some variability due to delays in approval, claim processing and eventual bank/debit card payment.
So is the date for Georgia September 6th or September 13th I’m confused at this point
For Californians:
LWA payment phases
EDD started processing the first LWA payments on Monday. Those payments will go to people who have already met all the payment requirements.
EDD “couple of weeks” to get all the payments out.
so ….couple of weeks to disperse….
I am in Florida and have recvd the initial $900, does anyone know if the Gov is/has applying for more weeks or is this it for Florida.
Julie A. Su (from twitter)
@JulieSuCA
Californians who meet federal eligibility requirements have started to get the $300 more per week in Lost Wages Assistance. CA applied early & got enough for 3 weeks of payments. Now we have been approved for 2 more weeks. Those eligible will get $1500 on top of regular benefits.

Hi Andy. Crissy from Mississippi. Are there any other pages we can check for MS unemployment updates? The MDES home page tells us nothing. The last update we had was from August 22nd. Thanks
I’m just wondering am I the only one in florida that received only 600 of the 900 I supposed to had been approved for all 3 weeks do anyone else have this problem and should I still expect too see the other 300 soon. I though florida was paying weeks ending 1,8,15 I only received payment for week’s ending Aug 1 and Aug 8 what happen to week ending Aug 15 will I still receive payment for that because I’m 300 short of the 900.
I’m in Illinois and still have gotten 300 a week. I’m literally living off of 214 every 2 weeks. I’m depending on that. I have 3 kids and have to buy wifi for this elearning and school started already. Rightnow its pay my rent which is still not enough or buy wifi. I really need that 300 it would have really helped!
I am from Washington state and I usually get my pua by now but on my portal it says they are seeing if I am eligible for the lwa. So does that mean they are paying out soon?
How ma y weeks has Louisiana been approved for. I received my 900 and I received one 300 dollar payment. I only received my regular pay this week, will I receive the 300 this week?
Hi Lisa i have not gotten my $300 either. Wonder what’s going on??
Hey lisa im in louisiana having the same problem have you heard anything new
No the last I heard was Louisiana applied for the assistance ending Aug 28th, but they say it’s pending approval.
I live in vt I was told vt was doing 400$ also contacted them and they said there is no actually date because they aren’t sure when the payments can go out.
Do we have to sit until our filing date to get the retroactive payment? The
I’m from TN. I got the $900 2weeks ago today, but last week and this week all I got was my regular unemployment benefits, no extra $300. When will we start receiving our weekly $300?
Hi Crystal,
Things in TN are a bit up in the air, but the State is working on it.
The money the State received, for the first 3-weeks of August, was paid – the $900 you received. Now the State is applying for more money from FEMA, but first, the State has to calculate how much they will need. The Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development, on their FB page, estimates they will be able to get seven weeks of funding before the FEMA money runs out.
I am in Tn as well, I haven’t received the $900 lump retroactive from August 1st. The amount only cover 3 weeks. According to online you have to reapply for the 4th week going Forward.
Mississippi here. Just wondering if there is any update for us.
Hi Crissy. According to the MDES (Mississippi Dept. of Employment Security), the program began implementation on Saturday, Aug. 22nd but funds will not be available for three to four weeks.
Week three is just ending – hold in there!
Um are we all goin to get Back on track about the LWA? Because we all in the same boat about wanting to know where the hell our money is at lol..
It says here that the LWA is retroactive to thr beginning of Aug. If I went back to work at the end of Aug, does that mean I will still get the extra for those weeks I filed and received regular Indiana unemployment?
Yes. If you got more than $100 p/week for those weeks you will get LWA. You may need to reactivate your claim
Andy, this was from 1 day past ABC 10 for California “EDD will automatically add the LWA payments to the benefits of people in phase one. Payments will be issued retroactively for weeks beginning July 26. EDD has said it will take a “couple of weeks” to get all the payments out.”
Andy, I live in Tn. Payments were paid out starting August 30th. If I get less than $100, I will not qualify for retroactive payment amount. If so, I feel like if your getting unemployment less than $100 you should automatic qualify.

I get paid bi – weekly and i only get paid 122 will I be qualified to receive the extra 300 ?
Unless your State increase your payments to $100 (pre-tax) a week, you will not be eligible for the $300 in LWA.
I just checked on the claimant homepage for Indiana and there was an update saying that dwd will start sending payments out the week of sept 21.
Hi Amanda, thanks for the update!
Why does one page say Wyoming will begin payments on Sept 13th, then the tracker now has unknown?
Hi Barbara – I think that’s been updated so both pages match.
Hi Andy, Wyoming Workforce finally sent an email out that they would start paying. But on the claims form at top they posted that lwa will begin July26 and end Sept 5th.
And that there will be no more funding? What is going on here?
Does anyone know what’s going on with ga? It shows on my lwa pending 900$ but still have not received the money. It was supposed to be deposited 9/11/2020. Yet still nothing at all. Please help
The tracker still said Unknown
Indiana is now saying on the Claimant Page ( The LWA program has available funding from FEMA. DWD will begin making LWA payments to eligible claimants beginning the week of Monday, September 21. )
Wow literally takes 2 months to get it rolling. I bet we only get the $900 and we will then be behind 4 weeks. This is a joke.
PLEASE UPDATE THIS PAGE FOR INDIANA. THANKS
Thanks Justin. Updated table and validated from DWD page. Surprisingly Indy is still better than a number of other states that are still waiting to roll out program.
With LWA, Hoosiers will be eligible to receive an additional $300 per week if all of the conditions below are met: 1) their weekly benefit amount is at least $100 under regular state unemployment insurance (UI), Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA), Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC), or other eligible federal UI programs; and 2) they certify that they are unemployed or partially unemployed due to disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic; and 3) DWD determines that they are eligible for an underlying benefit payment for the week; and 4) The LWA program has available funding from FEMA. DWD will begin making LWA payments to eligible claimants beginning the week of Monday, September 21.
Iowa paid retroactive payments today 9/9/2020 I received 1500.00
Thanks Anthony. Table updated Confirmed from IWD page. IWD will begin processing payments for this benefit program Sept. 3, 2020, and start paying benefits, including retroactive benefits, on Sept. 4, 2020. So looks like they took a week to get payments out which is in line with what I am hearing elsewhere.
Labor Day put it back a day also if it matters I’m just glad to see all retroactive payments paid right away with all the stories from other states this will help me drastically
Sep 9th update – Kansas and Washington DC have now been approved by FEMA for LWA program.
For those who are eligible, $300 payments will be retroactive to the week ending Aug. 1, and will remain in effect until FEMA terminates the program. Kansas had originally suggested a $400 option for LWA, but was not able to come to terms with the State Finance Council. So it is back to $300.
I’m in California as of today I received $600 automatically in my BOA account, not $900 as expected anyone in the same boat?
You are not alone. CA is paying on a week to week basis and is catching up on paymnets…so processing is a bit behind.
Cali as well, if you filed on Sun- ending on Jul 26th here, you should have gotten paid, if you meet req. I’m waiting, and I last filed Aug 2-sunday (after $600 end)
I am in CA and only got 600 as well (came in late Tuesday night).
I received only $300. I thought it was supposed to be $900 lump sum payment? Anyone else?
I just got two $300 payment last night, making the total $900. It looks like whoever hasn’t got it will get it soon.
Hi, I live and chicago and certified for my regular payments on Monday. My payment was issued today for my regular amount a day late cause of the holiday. On the website it states on the website that payments are scheduled to begin the week of September 6th but on your chart it says September 20th. Since my payment for this week is only my regular payment i’m inclined to believe your chart is correct but why would they put on the website that payments are scheduled to start on the 6th. Really need this money and having to wait another 2 weeks minimum is disappointing.
Thanks for the update (I have reflected this in the table). I checked IDES site and it does say, “Payments are scheduled to begin the week of September 6th.” But with the public holiday on Monday and time for payments to be distributed by banks I imagine it could take 2 to 3 days more for payments to reach you.
Thank you for the reply. So this will come separately from the normal payments? As I received my standard unemployment yesterday.
hi im in illinois and on this sight it says payments will start on the 20th of sept. but on the unemployment sight it says it starts week of sept 6th and i have not recieved it can u tell me why there dif dates and what is correct
The table in article has Sep 8th (since 7th was a holiday) you should start seeing payments soon as it takes some time for IDES to process payments and then for banks to send payment to accounts or debit cards. Paper checks will take even longer.
Illinois here. I certified on Monday. Today I see deposit of my normal UI. Will I see the $900 deposited separately? The IDES website says they start processing the extended benefit of $300 on 9/6. Thanks.

You may see it as a separate payment – but really depends on timing of IDES processing. Several weeks to catch-up o.
When I will receive the extra 300
I live in Illinois and claim $275 every two weeks. On the website right before I login

(It only shows on this portion of the login link, or just look up Illinois unemployment on google and click login link)
It says we’re set to receive LWA payments starting the week of sept. 6th but when I check my pending payments for this week I only See my regular Benefit.

Hey Andy not sure if you can answer this for me you seem to know more than us lol. When i look at payment history it tells me i only have $346 left in maximum benefits. Would these extra $900 payments from FEMA affect my amount from Illinois? Im worried this is the last unemployment check i get and they wont pay me the the $300 for my weekly benefits and/or the $900 too retroactive. I’ve been on since march and struggling to find a job especially being school full time and immune compromised.
I am in Louisiana and I got the $900 and the $300 the next week but I only got my regular pay today will I get the extra $300 a different day?
Yes, payments may be staggered as after the first 3 weeks ($900) the state has to apply for every week until funding runs out (likely end of September). Given the week to week nature of LWA approvals and payments, the $300 may come on extra days since FEMA has to process and release funding on a state by state basis.
Hi!!!! Im from Los Angeles California I received a $300 payment on September 5 but I’m eligible for all five weeks but I still haven’t seen anything else are they doing it over the next two weeks I thought they were starting it on the 7th, very vague information… and I can’t find any information on this pertaining to the LWA… thanks

In CA, payments are being made on a week to week basis.
I’m also in CA and received two payments for $300 last night, but didn’t receive anything for the third week. In a press release on EDD’s website, they state that claimants who receive benefit payments on an EDD card (which I do) would receive a “lump sum” payment of the initial three weeks, which meant I should’ve received $900. If it were week by week, as you suggest, I should’ve received $300. Instead, I received $600, which just makes me more confused than before! Thanks for any clarification.
Im MN got 3 weeks plus regular unemployment deposit Tuesday which was yesterday. So wondering if i will get the other 2 weeks this morning? Or is it deposited same time as it was yesterday?
I started receiving my extra $300 payments, but my extra $300 payment was not added today when they added my regular UI payment. Where is it?
I’m from New Mexico and I receive UI benefits and I qualify for the 300 LWA payout, but September 3rd my cousin asked me if I checked my benefits to see if I got a deposit, I told him no, why? He said cuz I got 600 in today! I replied really ok let me check. So I call to check my account and to my surprise there was nothing. Mind u I have been receiving ui since April due to the coronavirus and my job putting me In active right now untill it clears up. So I’m like wtf? Why didnt I receive the 300 LWA benefits and my cousin who just barely started getting ui did? What’s that all about? I am clearly eligible for it, it makes no sence to me as to why I didnt receive the LWA.
If anyone might know why that is please let me know. Thanks
I get only 133.00 a week and I’m in ga also waiting. I see that it stated the 6th and yet it’s changed to pending. What’s that even mean? I’m losing everything already my home my husband no car. How do we even live like this? I’m going crazy.
Hey Felicia Georgia ain’t started paying the 300 yet rightnow they are try to start it next week but is not sure yet
Hey my sister! I know it’s not really going to help you but I’m in the same boat (well actually car… I am currently sleeping in it) I was doing fine a couple months ago but now I have nothing and I’m scared to death! I have no family and I was counting on that money but here in N.C. it just has not come yet! You aren’t alone and I am gonna pray for everyone suffering from this epidemic and ask god to help us! Take care!
Im in Texas.. I qualify and have seen nothing. I can’t get through the phone line and there’s nobody to talk to or any other number
I live in TN and I have yet to receive my $900 back pay but I’m expecting my regular unemployment tomorrow since it’s normally today but the Holiday pushed me back a day. Has anyone else received the $900 with their benefit or separately? I called unemployment office and no one can give an answer. It’s frustrating because the website doesn’t specify if approved for LWA or not and says it is supposed to be automatically added.
TN started the 900 two weeks ago. I received the 900 but did not receive the 300 last week or this week
I am in TN still havent received any extra money. I was approved from August 2nd per paperwork so thought I’d at least get my back pay from then but instead just started from the day it was approved so as of now received 3payments for aug29, 5 and the 12thSept. But no LWA payments at all. Have you had any luck? And were you ever emailed or asked on dashboard to re-verify it was due to covid? I’ve seen a bunch saying that this was either supposed to be asked and checked on our end in order to receive LWA but I wasnt sent this. IDK this is so frustrating thanks for response if you get this.
Is there an update on NY? This is getting nerve racking.
It states here on this chart for Pennsylvania Paying Now with a date of September 10, but on the LWA Tracker it still states Payment Pending with the date of September 14. What’s going on?
It takes 3-4 days for payment to process so if processed on 10 th will receive 13th or 14 th almost there
My son just got his first payment for the weeks of 08/23 thru 08/29 and 08/30 thru 09/05. He got the extra $300 for the week of 08/23 – 08/29, but did not get the extra $300 for the week of 08/30 thru 09/05. We are in Texas. Do you know why he got it the first week, but not the second week?
After the initial three week grant, Every week is processed separately subject to FEMA funding. So you may be seeing some variability due to delays in approval, claim processing and eventually bank/debit card payment
Any news on people in Cali receiving there $900 yet? Also, a bit confused, Does this mean we can receive the payment at anytime,
Of any day of the week? Or will it come when we certify payments next ?
Got $600 this morning only, automatically missing $300 anyone else on same boat? I’m in California
I got $300 only on 9/6.. still waiting on the retroactive payment of $600..I dont certify until 13th.
it seems that edd is still implementing this extra $300 payments..
Times are tough for everyone during the covid-19 pandemic. I wish you all to be safe and healthy and good vibes.
EDD is paying one week at a time
Did you have to certify to get them or is it automatically in your bank account I’m in California too and I qualify
Hi Maggie:
Same here – I live in California and only got $600. Maybe the other $300 will come later along with the 4th and 4th week payment. We just have to be patient. Hate to bother EDD as they are super overwhelmed at this point. I’m pretty sure it will just pop up on our account one of these days.
Exact same boat. Where’s that last $300??? :-)
NC update: The unemployment people informed me that they do not yet have a date for the $900 payment. Took a couple of hours but I was finally able to get this info from them.
Ingrid, I am in NC received 900 On Sept 2, but nothing else yet. Did get my regular on Tuesday morning.
I received two back to back payments of $300 at 12:07 a.m. PST 9/8/2020
In total of $600.
Which state?
What state?
Hi Meaghan:
Are you in California?
I live in New Mexico, my husband’s unemployment online claim system said he qualifies for the extra $300. When will New Mexico be seeing the extra $300?
We’re in New Mexico too, and my fiance’s online claim said he qualifies as well. We’re still waiting, but I’m hoping the holiday has things a day behind. Usually if he files on Sunday his payment hits on Tuesday. Fingers crossed it’ll hit tomorrow.
He got his regular payment but not the extra$300…. The chart says August 30…. It’s now the 8th? … Anyone knows when New Mexico will receive it???
I just check Florida website my lwa payment has been processed payable as of this date 09/08/2020
Great, thanks for the update and posting this comment. Seeing this with others from Florida and have updated table.
Florida
Received 3 deposits today for 270 dollars each.
They took 30 dollars from each check for taxes.
It says for the 1st 3 weeks of August.
I just read were only getting 3 weeks of law, is this it then?
I thought it was weekly
Thanks!
Valerie
3 weeks were initially approved. States then apply on a week by week basis and once FEMA approves (subject to funding) they will make payment. Some states have been approved for 5 weeks to date, while others are still waiting to make the first 3 approved weeks of payments.
Hi Andy,
Is there a website that I can go on to check the status of my LWA payment?
Thanks,
Sorry,
I’m in California
Mine was too and dont get me wrong I am super happy as they paid me for 3 weeks in August, but I had claimed 4 weeks in august. I claimed my 2 new weeks today, so I am ASSUMING I’ll get my normal 2 week pay plus 300 again for 3 weeks? They still owe me for week ending Augusts 29. My LWA payments on the same page as the 600 payments were already deposited this AM before I claimed. So, Maybe the did 3 payments max at the beginning to make sure there was enough $$$ for people. So anyone in FL, you should be getting direct deposits today, money on your Card, or if U get checks, they were probably mailed out. FYI.
But yes Florida has paid 3 weeks so far of BACK PAY ending August 1 week
So just to make sure I understand, in Ohio we are getting the 300$ plus our weekly money and they are going back to Aug 1st so when sept 13th comes I will receive 1800$ thsts 300$ a week plus my reg weekly benefit $
Yes, assuming funding is left in the program and Ohio keeps applying for additional weeks.
No, the max as it stands right now is 3 weeks or $900 until and unless Ohio files for additional weeks and FEMA approves.
I love in Indiana and haven’t seen nothing yet. Why is this?
September 21 is what the unemployment page says.
North Carolina here. I had to fill out an additional form when I certified last week. So today I got the regular weekly unemployment, but not the $900 that was approved. Does anyone know if that is payed separately?
I filed Sunday and got the $900 today (Tuesday). The holiday will have most banks a day behind. I guess the $132 per week will be separate because I got 900 which is the 300 for 3 weeks. I thought it was in addition to the $132 but apparently not.
What state?
So will we be getting any other weeks here in NC? I have t been able to find out anything about weeks after 8/15!!
All ga says is mid September is that accurate
I live in Cali and been on unemployment beacuse of COVID since July and I’ve been receiving 242 as weekly benefit amount. It’s September 8 and I’ve seen no extra money. When will it show up in my account? I certified on the 6th and only recieved my regular weekly amount
Didn’t see the extra 300 ,on unemployment due to covid related reasons and as of yet nothing? Is California paying right away or in a matter of weeks ???
I received the first 3 weeks retro pay back to August 1st this morning. Total of $900 minus the taxes was deposited. Only got the 3 weeks though since that was all they signed on for, they have to ask for each additional week so they still owe 2 to 3 more weeks retro. Surprised I saw it deposited this morning and it showed up on the unemployment site under federal lwa payments.
What state are you in. I am in ga and still nothing
Hey, I am in Florida. They said it wasnt going to start until the 20th but surprisingly it was already paid out.
I sure wish ga would. I am in a bind over all this. It said 6th for ga but who knows and still nothing
As a Floridian we got paid out today, so when will we see the money in our bank accounts?
Usually the following day depends on your bank. Mine has always gone in the next day after it posted to the unemployment site.
Where are cuz there is nothing here in Memphis Since the first three weeks of backpay……. our next payment was supposed to be from 8/22/20 to now
Hello! I am from Nevada and just curious as to if Nevada is going to be receiving the LWA payments at all? There is no estimated date or anything. And also, is the regular PUA delayed due to the holiday yesterday because I usually receive my benefits on Monday around 11:30pm (payment is usually for Tuesday) but still have not received it. On the PUA website it says it has been paid but is not on my BofA bank card and it has no pending transactions either. Just wondering if it because of the holiday? Thank you.
I have not received my lwa payment and I qualify for all weeks.
I’m from CALI I received my regular 2 week pay for unemployment but didn’t receive an extra 300 is it possible they will deposit it at a later date are should it have been processed with regular payment
Should be coming this week.
Hi Andy,
I had the same question, when the state was giving us the $600 per week it came along with my regular benefits. However when I received my regular benefit Monday it was not added. Are they doing it differently with the $300 payment?
hey paris, keep in mind that this is new to the system i also was getting mines with my regular benefit. i claim biweekly here in florida, and the 900 showed up today. i dont claim again until the 14 of sept, so its just a matter of them working the system and trying to send out payments for weeks that we already have claimed.
I also did not rec. the extra 300 are they paying out throughout the week ??
What state is this for
I also received my regular UI payment but I did not received the extra $300 and I was also wondering if it would be processed later.
Same here (only regular UI received for last 2 weeks), my wife is partially employed and she originally filed a weekend prior to me, and she recieved $300 extra this morning-(due to her P/T work -reduced), I think their doing it in order from July 26th/ where I filed Aug 2nd before end of $600.
