[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.
As I assumed, Alaska didn’t issue LWA payments so far this week. My PUEC usually is deposited on Tues afternoon, and the additional funding was not there. Furthermore, when checking the UI Website for payment details it only shows that I was approved for my normal benefit amount. No other information is available on the state sites, nor any press releases from the Governor, Commissioner, etc. There is very little information on the rollout for Alaska LWA on the web. There is a statement on the UI site instructing to “NOT CALL” the call center regarding the LWA. I wouldn’t hold your breath on this one- Halloween is still weeks out.
That and the President just called all Republicans to abandon Stimulus negotiations until ‘after he is re-elected’. Regardless of who takes the WH, Congress, etc- there is one thing: The financial help is going to come too late– we will simply have to find work at Walmart/HomeDepot/Grocery stores- they win here; cheap labor and an abundance of applicants. I’m a Chef by trade and I probably won’t be finding a $60k cooking job anytime soon, unless I leave AK. It’s too bad I can only find work making the same pay rate as a 19 year old with no cooking experience. The disparities are endless.
it makes no forms of sense why Alaska is so slow paying when pretty much every other state has been paying
its really sad how slow Alaska is……im sure someone in DOL will lose there job over this or should
Thanks all. It does appear that Alaska dates have changed from what was published and no LWA payments have yet been made. According to the Alaska free press, Mid-October is now the target date. Definitely well behind other states.
According to Cathy Munoz, deputy commissioner of the Alaska Department of Labor, “The program isn’t expected to start processing payments until mid-October.”
Table updated accordingly.

AS of 10/28/2020, still no LWA payment.
As of November 16th received all 6 payments of $300 for LWA thru the PUA program in Alaska by direct deposit- finally!
I saw a comment about someone getting an email asking about tax info for PUA to make adjustments to the money being paid. I too received an email asking. I filed for UI on Apr 19. And receieved email Nov. 15th. It was labeled e adjudication. Hope this helps!
Still nothing.
I qualify for LWA in SC and have yet to receive my money. I’ve been calling everyday and get the same answer. We’re working on it. Do to unemployment lack of concern my power has been interrupted and I’m going to have to park my car do to uninsured and unpaid insurance. This shouldn’t be happening and it’s like they don’t care. They started paying LWA September 25 and I’m still waiting
Is the money showing on your portal when they sent it out
when will Alaskan receive this money??……the website says for months there still aasessing president Trumps executive order after all this time
good question…..it appears no one in Alaska has any answers about any of this
This whole thing has been BS since the beginning.. promises, lies, dates changed etc… “The American people”. That’s a nice catchy slogan. Also BS.
Our Alaskan governor gave us 1/2 our 2020 dividend, promising to give us another portion in the fall. All lies. So where is our other 1/2? We are entitled to it.. why would they not give it to us? Dunleavy never gave a thought to seasonal workers who are laid off in the winter rely on their dividend. Now They have nothing coming in for winter at the exact same time extended benefits are exhausting, living in a rural town, no jobs to be had. NOW WHAT? DUNLEAVY? I bet his pockets are nicely lined after shuffling the dollars around… and Alaska still has not received the 300 added to our unemployment. Holding back on paying it and then changing the dates. First it was retro pay.. we’ll be lucky to see any retro. Dunleavy has done nothing that he promised Alaskans. They are all crooked. Im 56 years old , born and raised here in Alaska, Yeah I’m defensive with good reason, Dunleavy isn’t even from Alaska. Marrying a native does not make him Alaskan. He has no roots here. He’s just a hired crook breaking the law, interfering with the rules and laws written into the Alaska constitution regarding our PFD. Knowone is stopping them so all of them keep screwing us!
We are the one having to live with hardship, so why isn’t the Alaskan people allowed to vote on what we have to live with? Because it’s really not about us now is it?
A: No. Since Washington s minimum weekly benefit amount is higher than the $100 required by LWA, this is not a concern for Washington claimants. As long as you are eligible to receive at least $1 in benefits, you can receive LWA. For example, if you receive less than $100 each week because money is being deducted from your weekly benefit payment, you will still be eligible for the entire $300. A: We estimate that the LWA could provide more than $400 million to families, individuals and our state s economy. Any additional funds to help unemployed workers are welcome.
I live in sc and still havent got anything from the LWA program and they saying it can take up to 14 days and i hope it comes soon. I really can use it for my bills and i done everything thru or friday last week
Did you receive your money
I don’t what’s going on in SC. I have been calling everyday and nothing in the mail yet. My local post office manager stated that my check has been lost in the mail. So im calling UNemployment and request a replacement check in the mail and they are going to have to mail me out another check. This is crazy mann i so behide on my bills.
The Kansas Department of Labor says Kansans who are eligible for the Lost Wages Assistance program can expect payments from October 6th or 7th. The department began accepting self-certifications and processing payments on Friday (October 2nd) so could take a few business days to hit bank accounts.
Payments will be made weekly (over 6 weeks) rather than in a lump sum even though they are technically retroactive. KDOL, the state UI agency, has said that this is so claimants can start getting payments as quickly and accurately as possible the program was developed to work this way.
Gov. Kelly said to be eligible, a claimant must self certify their unemployment or partial unemployment is due to disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. She said if KDOL confirms eligibility, the claimant will get the payment for each week of the LWA program, as long as the person remains eligible and funds remain available. According to Gov. Kelly, claimants are able to self certify by logging into their unemployment benefits account or by calling one of the unemployment contact center phone numbers listed on its website.

When does my payments begin ?
Still haven’t received LWA payment in Kansas. Has anyone else?
I recieved one payment of the extra 300 on october 5th and thats it
Same here. One payment
Exactly the same case for me!
I received one (1) payment of the extra 300.00. I need the money desperately and have been so disappointed!
I heard that the reason that quite a few people only received 1 of the 6 $300
00 payments or those who haven’t received any of the 300.00 is that once again the State of Kansas DOL accidentally sent out all 6 of the 300.00 payments to a lot of people drawing unemployment, and because they made such a huge mistake, they ran themselves out of money early on.
Huge mistake!! I have contacted Kansas Dept of Labor 3 times after establishing my initial report. I have called them all day long in the past, since I heard about them mismanaging the “lost wages” and sending all 6 payments to a ton of us unemployment recipients. I have contacted 3 different people working for kansas employment about whether or not they had heard the same rumors. These phone calls from me ranges from Oct.through Dec. The Kansas Unemployment workers that I talked with, all 3 said they were expedlting a form to the supervisor. They took down a lot of info from me to send the supervisors!!
I am so disappointed!!! We all need the the money!
Has anyone else heard this?
Only one on Oct.3. I recieve pua not regular unemployment.
I have filed, but Also not received lwa yet. My portal says verified, just wondering when payment will come, as it’s been too long!
Im still ridiculously waiting and im totally confused to what is taking so long to get these out to people. On top of that when you attempt to call KDOL now, you can’t get ahold of absolutely anyone because the system is going directly to the “sorry all associates are busy and the line is full” recording.
Got payment on 10/6/20 of 300 for Retro aug 1st week.. but nothing since. Can’t find any info on delay or anything else.. any updates?
I as well got one same time as well nothing after that. Thought we was suppose to get one every week for 6 weeks way I understood it..
If a person haven’t received any payment yet do that mean they not eligible?
I haven’t received a payment yet either
I haven’t received anything yet so I called unemployment and they said there is no way of knowing when we will receive the payments. They have no idea I was told.
I was told the exact same thing…but let you owe the government any money and funds would be gone out your bank account before your bank knew it was gone!
I got 2 payments but none of the rest
I’ve got 6 payments that were issues for the 300 and I have yet to see them in my account. Why? I’ve got 5 payments for 300 but why is it showing the 6 payment have been issued on the 21st and I haven’t seen it in my account yet.
I have email with funding amounts of $300, $300 and $600 in the same; which I never got.
Sat. Nov. 7, still no payment in Alaska
Anna, I received my $1800.00 on Thursday. I know funds were deposited into accounts on Friday. You might want to contact them on Monday.
I still haven’t recieved a payment for LWAP here in Kansas. I am having difficulty pin pointing who has control of these funds and who is responsible for the delayed payments.
I have not gotten one lwa payment and I have self certified many times. I have talked with an agent every week. They have generated a ticket for my account but still nothing. Every time I call they say just keep waiting. They have generated a ticket so that’s good. I keep seeing on Facebook how they keep paying out every couple of days but still I am overlooked. Why is that?
Washington DC $300 LWA payment – As of September 21 (paying from week of Sep 28th), the District had been approved for four (4) of the total six (6) weeks of funding. Beginning October 6, the District began issuing payments for weeks five (5) and six (6).
Please dont hope for the stimulus package. That could be all tye way in December.
True. See this recently updated article for a discussion om the next stimulus package/check – https://savingtoinvest.com/when-is-next-stimulus-payment-coming/
#Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development started $300 #LWA unemployment payments. Looks like first 2 weeks have been paid per comments with remaining weeks starting from Oct 5th. Table updated.
I usually receive my AK UI deposit Tuesday afternoons. We shall see if the LWA is included this week. There hasn’t been any news/updates via the State portals since Sept 18th and even at that, Governor Dunleavy and Co. only stated that the LWA payments would be going out “soon”. I’ll update in about 12 hours.
this isnt true……nothing has been paid as of yet
yeah…..this isnt true…….Alaska hasnt paid not a single coin as of yet and it appears nobody has a answer when payments are coming
True…..Alaska is of course 1 of the last states to figure this out
[Update Nov 6th] Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development is announcing issuance of the Lost Wages Assistance benefit beginning Nov. 6, 2020.
Source : https://labor.alaska.gov/news/2020/news20-39.htm
—
[Update Oct 31] Cathy Munoz, deputy commissioner of the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development, said on Oct 27th that the state is working to get the payments out and that they can now be made in a lump sum of up to $1,800 instead of individual payments distributed over six weeks. If this is the case, should start hitting bank accounts in early November.
Reasons for Delay : Consequently, U.S. DOL is requiring that the State of Alaska not comingle FEMA funding with UI Trust Funds. This requires a new IT coding for accounting and reporting. The current UI system is not designed for funds to be dispersed from any sources other than UI. FEMA funding is unique requiring an entire system to be built with separate accounting and financial reporting requirements. Reimbursement is not allowed. The state cannot pay from UI Funds and request reimbursement. UI is in the final stages of testing EFT payments.
Retroactive lump sum payments will be made rather than the normal weekly benefit.

Yesterday it was announced in the Anchorage Daily News that Alaska will begin sending LWA $300 for the week of October 18th and if you are eligible for 6 full weeks an amount of $300 in addition to your UI benefits. The payments are for eligible people from July 31 to Sept 5 for retroactive payments of LWA. No money yet, but a date has been given. Thanks for keeping this website going.
Alaska is handling this so terrible and nobody has seen a coin of it as of yet
As of NOvember 4, 2020, no LWA payment to Alaskans.
Andy
I’m hoping maybe you can give me a straight honest answer. I’m in SC & they paid all but one payment. When I talked to them several times they keep saying it’s cause I switched from regular UI to the pandemic one on the week of the Aug 1st. They get it straight but didn’t. So yesterday when I called the woman told me well they have nothing to do with the payments & I need to call FEMA since the payments come from them. Ok WHAT? Sounds like the run around of not knowing your job. If this is true how & who do I contact cause after 5 calls they are starting this crap.
Thanks
T. H.
Yes SC paid first week by check (for fraud prevention supposedly). You may need to certify for LWA since you switched unemployment programs, but this is a one time certification issue only. I have heard though and see in other comments that PUA and LWA payments have been messed up (so you are not alone there) in SC. But FEMA cannot help you and your state UI needs to sort that out. You should contact someone else there or talk to your local state or district representative (google it) to get help. Also did you confirm you were eligible for LWA? You need to be getting over $100 from the existing unemployment programs you qualified for.
I was paid for the last 5 weeks. I should be grateful mine didn’t get screwed up like a lot of others have done. The 1st week of August 1st is the week I wasn’t paid but it’s also the same week I switched programs. And they have pulled that up several times but they say it’s fixed but never does. Then that lady I talked to Sat morning said I had to call FEMA? I’m like really? Now your gonna tell me that cause you dummied down? I knew not to call them & I did email my Gov so I’m waiting but thanks for the info on the representatives.
ANY NEW IN NEW JERSEY???? seems like only SC and MI are only uodates on this site.
Finally got my money after a month. Michigan here. I’m definitely praying for you guys. I was literally out of money and out of gas
seems like never! idk how they don’t have an exact date.
I know, right? No one can give a date or even a straight answer. Including ANDY. One reply he said this week or next. Yet he also replied to someone else who said this week, he said don’t hold your breath! Seriously? False hope with saying this week or next. We know what NJDOL said last update..which was WEEKS ago. Saying should he ready in October. Well october has 31 days. So WHEN?
See this NJ focused page – https://savingtoinvest.com/new-jersey-nj-division-of-unemployment-insurance-600-fpuc-and-pua/ – which has more on NJ benefits
Thanks. Theres nothing new in that article. Only thing changed was Sept 20 to early October. Couple sentences later says late Sept. So only few words were updated. So still just a guess as to when..early October. Going by when fema approved..then added few weeks. Then pushed back more weeks. So no one knows
Really doesn’t say much either. still early October lol. This blows!!! Thanks Andy.
This is so sad. Nj. Just saw online mid to late oct lwa. Murphy really screwed us
I know. Not sure where the mid to late october date comes from. DOL has no new updates. Same thing posted for past 3 or 4 weeks. So not sure why it suddenly changed.
Only NEW JERSEY is NOT paying !! It’s bullshit. I bet they get there nice government pays on time. I’m disgusted and drowning in New Jersey !!

Yea..we all are. But the governor doesn’t give a shit. He doesn’t worry about if he has money to buy food, gas, rent, electricity.. His checks ALWAYS ON TIME. he doesn’t have to wonder when his money will be deposited. Just his citizens have those burdens!
Marcy ! They don’t give a dam if we’re dying are not bcz their bank account can never bee empty, nj is the worst state I will I was living in ny I swear . NY state all ways looking for for there ppl . When I saw mid October I was done kmft
Sophia,
It does suck seeing that the time table changed to mid October. But keep in mind its just an estimated GUESS. just like the one saying early October and the ine before that saying Sept 20th. Its not based on any actual facts..no update. If it was an actual date we would have seen articles and updatea on NJ UI portal. The portal is listing the SAME EXACT “update” thats been there for 3 or 4 weeks now. Its the update that actually had the time table change from sept 20 to early October. So maybe we will get $$ sooner. Like I said..the time table here is a guess. Not factual. Wish there was someone with some actual updates but NJ could care less. I hate not knowing and this governor is a joke. I sent email to his office yesterday. He obviously doesnt read any comments from Twitter so maybe everyone should email him and FEMA. Just over load both with constant emails.
Nope nothing in New Jersey it’s not advanced and great is people thought it was
My LWA payment was sent but the mail carrier sent it back to the sender and on the SC My Benefits portal it was posted on September 24, 2020 and click on it it’s an option to replacement benefit. How can I get my payment resent to me.
Wauconda we have gotten a 2600 stimulus this month and will reacive 300 free white claws.
If you had a red flag on your I’d verification and haven’t received your weekly benefits or your LWA You need to call Columbia and make sure they have cleared you Just because you had your ID sent doesn’t mean you r in good standards. Just sharing good information
Oregon Employment Department began issuing Lost Wages Assistance payments on Oct 2nd to qualifying Oregonians who were receiving PUA benefits or who self-certified that they received unemployment benefits for COVID-19-related reason. Claimants should now be seeing payments in their bank accounts or debit cards
I’m in West Ashley and completed the verification process last Friday, I got a email on Saturday saying that they needed my ID along with my claim number, so I did that Saturday and it said upload complete. Sunday I weekly claim and come Monday I didn’t get my normal payment nor does the $1800 show up under payments. Does anyone know what’s going on?
Just recieved $1800 backpay today from uia in MI every should check there accounts. Funny it didnt show up on my MiWam account like usual but none the less I’m grateful.
I’m really not surprised SC is ridiculous I have been waiting on my back pay since June. I have been getting the run around about it. My bills are behind and they are constantly saying they will send it, it’s being processed and still nothing til this day. I have given them everything they need and still nothing. I’ve also been told it would be direct deposit and called all my bill collectors just for it not to hit and now owe triple my bills.
I am in SC and I received my check in the mail today for $1494. I verified identity on Saturday and received the check today(Thursday)hope this helps
Thanks for sharing the update and giving some hope to many SC readers waiting for their check.
Thank you! Cause we need it!
Thank you this helps alot I’m in sc as well and i certified for mine on the 26th and I haven’t received my check yet but hopefully I’ll recieve it tomm hopefully
Any updates for NJ. Other than the vague “sometime in October” that NJDOal stated? Unbelievable NJ has waited so long to even attempt to start programming. Almost as if Murphy is hoping for 2nd stimulus to go thru and extended unemploment benefits will be included and he won’t need the LWA. After being hit so hard by COVID, NJ residents NEED whatever help we can get! Murphy is hurting NJ the longer he WAITS. Thats what he is doing…waiting. No way its take NJ almost 2 months to set up a program to issue LWA when other states have already DEPLETED the funds. Ridiculous!
Have you heard any new updates or when
They’re sending out our payments?
Still no updates ,as far as I know, for NJ. On here its mostly SC and MI. No one has answered anything about NJ. If you hear anything…please reply. Thanks
Exactly!!! Some of us are having trouble even feeding our families. He is doing such a horrible job with this. We were shut down for so long!!! Wtf Murphy
The certification disappeared but if you login and go to settings in top left corner drop down you can see the lwa submission. I am from Michigan also, certified on Sunday for all of my stuff my regular payment was delayed by 1 day, but have seen nothing for lwa payment. There is nothing pending at all have read that it would be the end of the month but its now October.
SOUTH CAROLINA RESIDENT ZIP CODE 29072: OH FILED MY UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIM THURSDAY THROUGH PORTAL LAST WEEK RECEIVED MY CHECK 9/30/2020.
Did you have to send a copy of your driver licenses to get your check
No
No, surprisingly I was able to file a claim through the portal last week (Thursday)
Then it immediately disappeared but I saw my check pmt on portal Saturday. Zip code 29072, check came Wednesday. Long lines at bank of America on Knox Abbott drive. Check is perforated on sides
Hey i haven’t received my check yet in the mail. Have you received yours? IT say in my portal it was mailed out on the 24th last week. This is crazy.
Hey, I spoke with a representative this afternoon and she said if we don’t receive the check by Tuesday then we should call them back. Site said mine was mailed out on the 25th.
How do you check when it was mailed out
Chrystal, it would be listed in the same place where your normal pay weeks are.
What number are you calling for SC? Im on hold like forever
Is there another 1200 stimulus package and 600 unemployment benefits coming till January 2021
See this article for answer – https://savingtoinvest.com/a-new-pre-election-2021-stimulus-deal-with-extra-unemployment-benefits-and-stimulus-payments/
UPDATE FROM MICHIGAN: I certified on Sunday. I logged in later in the evening on Wednesday and I see the $300 listed under payment for the according weeks. It doesn’t say when it will deposit, but at least it is something. I hope it’s like the rest of the weeks, and deposit into my bank the next day.
Tawanda from Michigan, have anyone that self certified over the weekend received anything yet?
I certified on Saturday and have received nothing yet. I’m getting a bit frustrated at all of this
I am wondering the same thing. I certified over the weekend and nothing yet. I am in Michigan as well. I can’t even get an answer through sending a message or even get through on the phone. I just want to make sure that my account isn’t having a problem or anything. I will post the minute I hear anything.
Thank you, I’ll do the same
I just logged in and I see the additional benefits listed under the according weeks. I will let you know when I get paid.
How many days did it took
I spoke with someone from unemployment and she said they are still reviewing everyones claims. She told me to just keep checking the payment portal. Also she mentioned NOT everyone will get the $1800, that’s the max you can get. It can start as low as just a $300 payment . It all depends on your claim.
Anyone from SC do the identification test & payment is still not showing on the portal?
Hello
Yes mines is showing on my portal and that they issued my check out on the 24th of last week, and i still haven’t received anything. I called them yesterday waited on the phone for 3 hours before i talked to someone and she gonna tell me that keep checking it should be in the mail. I know people in my area that has received theirs OMG. I need my check bills getting behide. I’m just so mad right about now. Have you received anything?
Hawaii – The Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR) confirmed the payout schedule for the LWA program for the six weeks of funded benefits beginning the week ending 8/1 to 9/5/20.

Sept. 23, 24, 25 Payment for week ending August 1, 2020

Okay I’ve gotten the first payment of LWA. Now awaiting for second payment but didn’t receive anything. Did we run out of funding already?
Same here. Got my first lwa payment week of September 26th. No second payment and third one is due this week. I was wondering the same thing … have funds been exhausted, already? This really sucks.
oops I meant third payment due next week, not this eeek.
Hi I got the first week of the 300 but i didn’t get the second one
I haven’t received any LWA payments for Hawaii, who should I contact to find out if I will be receiving payment soon?
Mahalo Andy…..we too received just one payment of $300 at the end of August I believe but nothing after that. There is the headliner on our PUA account that states: Individuals receiving Pandemic Unemployment Assistance benefits may also be eligible to receive an additional $300 under the Lost Wages Assistance (LWA) program for the weeks ending August 1, 2020, August 8, 2020, August 15, 2020, and August 22, 2020 as long as Federal Funds remain available. I sent them a letter through the account asking about this but never heard back. Thank you for posting here.
I usually been getting mind every wednesday, this I haven’t gotten the deposit yet? How can talk to a live person
Tawanda from Michigan, anyone having issues with uia portal. I’ m not even seeing my regular unemployment benefits pending certified on Sunday
It’s no where to be found. If it shows up, you will see it. It will be halfway down the page in the spot that normally tells you that you have things to certify. It will be highlighted with an orange exclamation point.
Brad from MI. I certified on Saturday as well. Nothing so far. Hopefully within the next few days…
I really hope so, this been a really long process
Omg, I agree. I knows there’s quite a few people unemployed in Michigan, but the waiting sucks, and there’s no one we can call!
Are you having any issues with uia portal, I certified for regular unemployment on sun4 ans I’m not seeing anything pending for that
Does anybody have an update for KY? I still haven’t received the first payment. I did my bi weekly claim yesterday so wondering if it will come after my regular unemployment payment. Thanks in advance for any information!
Did anyone from sc received a text from scdew to send more verification if so will u please post the text. I accidentally deleted it. Thanks a mill
Did anyone in SC receive their LWA checks yet Lord knows we need it
My account shows that the payment was made on 9/27. As of 9/30, I have not received a check.
Hello
No i haven’t either what is really going on. See if they would have done direct deposit we wouldn’t be going through this. I need my check my bills are behide lord. Have you received anything? They gonna make me go to Columbia and find out.
It has been posted on the Virginia Employment Commission website that the LWA Payments have been postponed from Sept 30 till Oct 15 no explaination was given. This post can be viewed on the Virginia Emplyment Commission website.
Thanks Jack. I saw this a bit earlier and have updated per the official line – “The VEC is in the final stages of programming for LWA. We expect programming to be complete and the agency to begin making payments October 15, 2020. However, you must complete the LWA attestation process with Gov2Go.” Not great news for many Virginians waiting for this payment. See more on the dedicated VA UI page setup here
I was able to certify for LWA in Michigan on Saturday. Does anyone no how long it takes to receive the funds after certification?
If you find out please let me know, I self certified on Saturday too
I certified on Saturday but it disappeared from my submissions cause i kept certifying due to the link in the alerts staying there now I have nothing and can’t reach anyone. This is so crazy
I’m in MI also. Did you see an actual link that said LWA? I should qualify for 8/1 & 8/8 (not beyond as I started a job). I still see nothing on MIWAM.
Yes there was a link. Highlighted with an orange exclamation point. When you clicked on it, you had to answer 2 certification questions, then submit. I did that Saturday, but still nothing about a payment or pending payment
Lock down as far as what? As far as things that are open? (Businesses)
Can somebody tell me is there a seperate link to certify for the LWA on the michigan site. I have seen nothing and like everybody else i cant reach anybody for help
I am self-employed in Virginia – the new document information that PUA is demanding requires a 10-digit State ID of an employer, but since I am self-employed, I don’t technically have one. Has anyone else run into this problem? Any suggestions on what to put in this field? It will not accept my documents without it, despite the fact that it clearly instructs: “Self-employed – upload your Schedule C Profit and Loss statement for 2019”
MH. I’m in SC also and haven’t received my unemployment payment yet either for Monday
It’s happening with me also
So they say everywhere I’ve read says Oregon will be the end of September how close are they gunna cut it! #betterbeallinonelumpsum
# whymakeuswaitwhenyiugotthemoney
I’m in Oregon and checked my pending payment for Wednesday via my ReliaCard and it is not there. Only my regular unemployment amount. So if it gets added on the 30th we won’t see it till October 2nd.
From Oregon as well. My claim says processed September 29 and payment paid (6×300) $1800.00. Takes 2 days to show up, so expect it tomorrow October 1. We shall see. Don’t for the life of me understand why so long……..
I’m in SC. My portal says I was given $1494 on 9/25/2020 but I have not received any money. Help?? I did receive my weekly amount of $270 today.
They are sending LWA in the form of a check. I called Friday and spoke to someone and they said that all lwa payments are being sent by check for security reasons.
Mine said that to it said I may get mined by check in mail
Me too said 1800 on 9/25 nothing yet
Just curious if anyone knows how to self certify for kentucky. Been on unemployment since march. I read on the unemployment website that you have to go back in your claim. So thats what i did and know it has reset all my stuff SMH…. Really wish they was a different way we could check… if anyone from ky knows a different way to do so please let me know.
Andy
I was just wondering why articles kept popping up yesterday saying the federal government has approved $300 jobless benefits for NJ. Hasnt that already been approved?
NJ was approved by FEMA several weeks ago. But they have yet to update their systems to make these payments to eligible claimants. Per NJ DOL update on Sep 24, “Additionally, the Department has been approved for six weeks of funding through FEMA’s Lost Wages Supplemental Assistance (LWA) program. The funding gives eligible claimants $300/week in addition to their other unemployment benefits for a limited time. Programming will be in place next month to distribute lump sum payments.”
Yes. I am aware of all that. I just dont understand why articles were written on sept 25th saying the fed gov has approved 300 for nj unemployment. That already happened. So why are articles saying it again?
Will I still get my weekly pay if I got to send in documents for my identity?
Does anyone have an up day on SC LWA payments
Are you able to claim your week
Did anyone get their unemployment money this morning in South Carolina I didn’t is it still a glitch in the system
no they say they paid me 1500.00 did not receive it
I didn’t get mine either nor did my husband!
Regular ui yes lwa is being sent by check because south catkin Carolina is dumb
Sc get their payment in a check
SC will get the checks in 7-14 days
Michigan here, how long after you self certify do your funds get released?
Brad from MI. I’m hoping it works like the regular certification and that we’ll receive are funds on Monday or Tuesday.
Okay hopefully that’s how it works, thanks for replying, this whole thing has been confusing and frustrating
Im from sc i done tje verfrcation proccess and a friend of mines did theres the same day which was on tuesday 22nd and today which is saturday his shows 1800 penndung but mines ant showing nothing are they going in abc order cause his last name starts with a E and mines with a H
Every time I try to click on identity verification it says access denied for me.
Having the same problem. Is it still doing the same thing.
mine is coming up the same way- access denied
You have to use a computer or it won’t allow you to verify! I figured that out yesterday! But if you don’t do your identity verification you can claim your next week!
You have to go through google chrome to verify your identity
No, my last name starts with an R, I did everything Thursday morning and by Thursday Night my 1800 was showing already under payments. So I’m not sure why yours isn’t showing up yet!
SC RESIDENT: FILED LWA THURSDAY NIGHT. SATURDAY MORNING I CHECKED MY PORTAL AND IT SHOWS 1494$ WORTH OF CHECK PAYMENTS TOTALING 4 WEEKS!! I’M Missing 2 weeks. It is reassuring to know that I have money coming in check form… But I need money today I started a new job on the 17th of September and I have to wait a month before I get my first check I hope I get the two weeks that they owe me for Sunday or Monday because I have no gas money to get the work this week. I’m grateful I get the back pay for 4 weeks but in the meantime I need gas money and groceries I need to get to work this week. At least I don’t have to play hide and seek with my back pay on the online portal anymore but they should have just direct deposit the funds into everyone’s account
My portal showed payment approved on Thursday after with payment method of check which is crazy but I wonder when they will actually be mailed. If any received a check please let us know. We could use some good news!
I got a check today!
Hello Tiffany,
Are you in SC?
When did it say it was sent off?
Exactly!!! My payment was saying payment issued on Sept. 24, 2020 and being that it wasn’t sent to my card and coming in a check you would think it would have been in the mail today but no mail. So I guess they going to make us wait longer just to get a dang check in the mail. All this is pathetic. Aint like the checks being mailed from across the country because they coming right from Columbia SC so they should have been in the mail today like WTH………
Exactly what is going on…… This is Sad mann folks got bills to pay!
Man its crazy my check says 1800 issued oct15th but it’s Nov. 1st and I haven’t gotten it not to mention my regular payments q have not started back up since my id verification. So prepare for a wait bro.
Mine says 1800$ issued but nothing in my deposit yet just hoping it comes on Monday morning
Did it come?
Where is the check payments on the portal at
Under payments on the claimant homepage. It shows the date paid, 9/25/2020 and amount$1494
Once you click on the payment it shows you payment type and it says check. I need DIRECT DEPOSIT MAN!!!!
I talked to them 2 times on Fri as to why they sent mine checks. They said it was part of their security. No their system screwed up again & their too lazy to fix it. But I was missing a payment as well & u just got to call them.
Texas update…The LWA stops the week of September 5th. But you can still get your regular UI under the Cares Act 13 week extension in Texas. I was under assumption that this would last more than 3 weeks. Next week thousands of airline lay offs. It is not looking good.
I’m in MI and haven’t received anything.. no notification to self certify or anything.. I am getting to the point where I think nothing is going to come due to funds running out! All around me people have got two rounds of payments due to being on pua, and because I’m on regular UI we are the last to get it, not fair. Everyone should of got one payment before people got two payments! So frustrating!
That’s exactly my situation, my boyfriend is on the pua and already gotten two payments, I haven’t gotten a message to self certify or nothing, starting to think I won’t get anything either. So frustrating
I’ve messaged Uia like 3 times and no response either.. at least I know I’m not the only one!
I messaged them too, nothing, the frustrating thing about it is originally we didn’t have to do nothing as long as you were certifying every two weeks
Andrea and Tawanda – Due to the increase fraud many agencies are implementing additional verification steps. You need to call the MI UI agence and confirm your payment is not held up because of this, and assuming you are eligible for the payment as described in the article.
Check your portal.. my link finally showed up!
Brad from MI again. Good news. My certification questions just showed up for the LWA. Not sure when I’ll get the money though. Hopefully Monday
I’m in Michigan as well. I’m on PEUC and haven’t received a dime. I emailed twice 7 days ago. No reply! It sucks, I’ve got just enough cash to pay my rent this month and that’s it…
I’m on regular UI and just checked my portal and the certification was finally there! I flipped out with excitement Until every time I answered the questions the alert stays there. This also happened with my PUI claim and nothing ever happened because of it. Has me worried it’s just another glitch that’s gonna end up with nothing. Fingers crossed but check your Miwam maybe it’s the same.
From MI. Got my regular unemployment, but nothing from LWA.. Oh Well. I’ve pretty much giving up. You can’t call, or send a message. I emailed 2 messages over a week ago. No response. I definitely didn’t ask to get laid off!!!
Yeah I just checked mine and it was there too!! So some hope.. we’ll see if it actually goes through!
Where are you finding this?
After you certified did your alert stay there tho? I ended up doing it over and over thinking it wasn’t going through or that we had to do it multiple times for the weeks. Scared it’s just gonna cause more issues.
You did it right. Answer the questions six separate times. Your technically certifying for each 300 dollars
After you certified did your alert stay there tho?
After I answered the questions 6 times, the certification questions disappeared.
So I just looked again and it’s gone but I did it well over 6 times and where it shows you everything you submit there were multiples and now they are ALL gone as well as my alert to certify for the 28th as regularly scheduled. So many glitches it just scares me I messed things up. I’ll report back when I find out but thanks for the replies.
I qualified for the first three weeks of lwa and got nothing in NY, I work the first 2 weeks of September and reported it so I’m going to assume that because of me working for those two weeks in the beginning of September that it automatically disqualified me from any type of payment which I think is sooooo not fair. I should at least get the first three weeks of August payments since I did qualify for it…. idk this is crazy and can’t get answers anywhere .. .
I live in Arkansas I’m going through the same thing I was drawing unemployment up until august 17th I’m due 900$ for those three weeks in august they did send 300$ on the 12th I called and asked about my other 600$ and they are saying they see my money on their end but not my end and then came back and said since I’m fighting my employer that lied saying I quit when actually he never called me back when he opened in mail I won’t get that money till a decision is made I don’t understand why I was got paid 218$ a week up until my unemployment stopped on august 17th I should get my back pay so frustrating I need it badly
Meant may not mail lol
I have received a 1.600 check will you be mailing me the 300.00 check are will it be deposited in my account
Thanks J P. I had to go to google Chrome like u said and I got through
Did you receive your money this morning?
Where in SC do you live? I live in Summerville haven’t got my yet
I’m in West Ashley and still nothing.
If your payment issue said check they should be in the mail tomorrow so hopefully they wont hold them for 7-14 days still after giving us the run around we still have to wait. Instead they put the money on our cards we still have to pay to get them cashed.
I live in Camden. I’ve seen something where someone said they was told by scdew after u apply the checks went out for delivery in 48 hours. If this is true we should get them by tomorrow but we’ll see.
it said on my hompage that a check was issued on the 24th so to me if it was issue that should mean it was sent so either maybe today or monday i would think. hopefully it wont take longer but at least i am eligible for it
So, everyone lwa came in check form? I was wondering about that.
I live in Sumter. Says paid on 24th in my portal where my normal payments show but nothing hit bank account. I think they might be mailing checks or the banks are over whelmed
Michigan, I have not got a link email to me, this whole thing is confusing, I thought you didn’t have to do anything extra, as long as you certify every two weeks, I have to certify on Monday. Have anyone in Michigan gotten anything yet?
South Carolina people check y’all bank accounts I got my 1800 today
I applied for mine and it says sent out 9/24 and I still have no money. Mine says something about a check.
The money is not coming on our cards the unemployment lady told me our LWA payments will come in a paper check 48 hours after you file for it so you is wrong about that
Did your payment say anything about a check under when it was issued?
South Carolina SC DEW Update (Sep 25th) – A DEW spokesperson said the agency began a “soft launch” of the program meaning some claimants saw LWA payments hit their bank/debit cards on Frday (most people are getting checks!). But this is only a small amount and it is expected to take several days to process the backlog of payments. Claimants should now be able to complete an identity verification process on DEW’s website. Once they certify that they were unemployed during the weeks they are requesting benefits for, and receive approval, they should start receiving payments within seven to 14 days, according to DEW spokesperson Heather Biance. The maximum payment is for 6 weeks or $1800..
Update Sep 28 – It looks like all South Carolina DEW is making LWA payouts via check due to fraud/identity issues with existing payments. They are mailing checks that appear to be dated 9/25, no definite day they were actually mailed. They have also taxed these FEDERAL PAYMENTS at 17% so the actual weekly payment is $249.00 (vs $300). Could take 7 to 14 days for all checks to reach your address on file with DEW.
Update Sep 30th – With South Carolina approved to provide LWA benefits for a total of six weeks, the DEW has said those who qualify will receive a one-time payment of $1,800. Those checks have started going out this week, but the confusion continues as claimants complain that they haven’t been able to correctly submit their paperwork online to receive payment.
So I guess the “Soft launch’ of people didn’t need to get their identity verified??. South Carolina do the most..smh
So are there going to updating all weekend? B/c I don’t see anything in my portal as of yet
It’s is So said
7- to
14 days. All this time other states as all ready paid . It’s really said when we have bills to pay
And no help soon like tomorrow it is already the end of Sept now.it is just really said and the on line is still saying in prossing what’s going on.
When are they going to start the extra $300 on our weekly funds we certify for starting Sept 27th
When I try to verify identity, it tells me access denied… why is that?… I am unable to certify also.
When are they going to start the extra $300 on our weekly funds we certify for starting Sept 27th
This the way South Carolina is handling LWA payouts. They are mailing checks that appear to be dated 9/25, no definite day they were actually mailed.
They have also taxed these FEDERAL PAYMENTS at 17% so the actual weekly payment is $249.00. If you try to call the unemployment line it takes you through a series of prompts eventually automatically disconnecting the call. It would be hard to believe there is a state that has screwed this up worse than South Carolina. I encourage everyone to Google who their congressman is and get on the phone to that office to notify them how this has and is being handled.
Why is this such a long drawn out process just give us our money.
this is COMPLETE BULLSH*T!!!! how in the hell is this supposed to help and supposed to be “more money”? IF THE PRESIDENT SAID PAY US $300 ON TOP OF WHAT WE ALREADY GET, THEN DAMNIT WE SHOULD GET WHAT TRUMP SAID GIVE! I WAS EXPECTING TO GET MUCH MORE THAT $1620….. I OWE THAT IN PAST DUE RENT! SOUTH CAROLINA SUCKS!
Mine say check issued on 25th? Hope it comes soon.
If I was denied my appeal hearing but I still have a remaining balance and weekly payout of 115 but its says 0 cause of hearing on payment issue will I still receive check, I’ve did verification they sent me last friday
Sc is on some bs like always it shows on the portal the funds have been issued since friday it’s now Tuesday I recieved my normal weekly pay but not the one issued on Friday. Cant get through to talk to anyone, just yesterday for about 3 calls back to back it was saying the number was not in service. I’m just over this
It’s coming via check so likely 2 to 4 business days to reach you
Well I got locked out of my account when I called somehow and now I don’t exist in the system so I have no money for nothing.and nobody will help me fix this.im just done with hope for this
I filled out the question friday haven’t seen anything in my portal as in today but got an email yesterday saying upload documents which I also done Friday what’s the problem
We recieved the 1800 when will we continue to get ghe 300 weekly
I’ve had to move out of mt apartment because of mold i was approved 9/25 i haven’t seen a check yet homeless living in my car .so sad
Stil haven’t received mine dated on 9/27
Why would they tax that little bit of money, S,C do the most.
does anybody have a clue when Alaska will be paid…..
I sent my infor 4 times already to verify myself even went to Kinkos and paid to have it faxed over they claim didn’t receive it so I go to our DEW and let them do it ..I just don’t understand what else they want smh should I send in my birth certificate with a selfie ohhh my I’m over it ,You gotta wait on the phone forever and told on forever again this waiting game Suck and if ppl have direct deposit why in the Hell would they send you a Check smh Only SC slow on everything ….
I been waiting since September 14 when I verify my info and called them they said Oct 1 they looked at my DL but nothing released yet for me !! I think they are trying not to pay anybody
I did my verification in September and i had to turn around and up load my id September 25,2020 its now November 9th and i still haven’t receive the $1800 who can i talk to besides the people at unemployment in South Carolina this is crazy!
I don’t live on South Carolina but there has to be an office that you can contact regarding this issue. In Alaska we can contact the ombudsman office to file complaints against state employees or services. Or maybe attempt to contact the governor or mayors office. I hope this helps.
I have been unemployed since June because of covid and still haven’t received lwa. Don’t know why. Everyone I talk to after waiting 2 hours to get thru tell me it’s coming. Still waiting. What’s up.
The check came today in the mail
Could u please tell me what the envolpe looks like
Hey I did mines on a Saturday of last week it show in my portal that it was sent on the 27th do they issue checks on the weekend
Been waiting since the 9/25 its getting ridiculous it’s on my payments still nothing c’mon man 2 weeks to process every one I talked to has got theirs get these payments out people got Bill’s to pay especially me.
Yo me too, but they sending us a check tho smh no direct deposit
Yeah I was on the phone with SCDEW 3 different times this morning & got the same answer about the checks. The held us up all week saying they was putting in this security thing so no one would steal the money & so the checks are part of their security process. Really? Checks? Security? SCDEW is chock full of morons & dumbasses
Ikr a check they dont give a damn a check for security reasons when direct deposit like other states do come quicker idk what they are doing in Columbia but all I say is smh.
Did anything show “pending” in your portal prior to your deposit?
Did your payment method say check and you still got direct deposit?
How long after the pay date did you recieve 1800
How long after you did the certification?
Hey are you from SC or another state. Mines in SC alot of people is saying Checks not direct deposit.
