Key Takeaways
- Wisconsin's maximum weekly unemployment benefit is $370 in 2026, and benefits can last up to 26 weeks.
- Part-time workers and those with reduced hours may collect partial benefits — but Wisconsin's earnings disregard is very low at just $30 per week, meaning income beyond $30 reduces your benefit dollar-for-dollar.
- Wisconsin taxes unemployment compensation at the state level; combined with federal taxes, planning ahead through withholding from your payments is smart.
- You can file and manage your claim through the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD) at dwd.wisconsin.gov.
- Unemployed Wisconsin residents can access BadgerCare Plus (Medicaid), SNAP, the Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program (WHEAP), and job training through Wisconsin Fast Forward and local job centers.
Wisconsin’s unemployment insurance program, run by the Department of Workforce Development (DWD), provides benefits for up to 26 weeks. With a 2026 maximum of $370 per week, the benefit amounts are on the lower end for a Midwest state, but the program’s partial unemployment rules and access to complementary state programs can meaningfully extend your income during a job search. Here’s what you need to know for 2026.
2026 Benefit Amounts and Duration
Wisconsin’s maximum weekly benefit is $370 for 2026. The minimum is $54. Benefits last up to 26 weeks under standard state UI.
Your Weekly Benefit Amount is calculated as 4% of your total wages during the two highest-earning quarters of your base period. The base period is the first four of the last five completed calendar quarters before you file. There is no dependents allowance in Wisconsin’s formula — all claimants are calculated on the same earnings-based formula.
Who Qualifies
To receive Wisconsin UI, you must:
- Have earned wages in at least two quarters of the base period
- Have total base period wages of at least $1,350 — and wages in the highest quarter of at least $675
- Have total wages in the two highest quarters equal to at least 4 times your WBA
- Have lost work through no fault of your own (layoff, business closure, reduction in force)
- Be able to work, available for work, and actively seeking employment each week
Wisconsin requires claimants to complete four job searches per week and document them. DWD conducts random audits of job-search records, so keeping accurate logs matters.
Workers who were fired for substantial misconduct or who quit without good cause are typically ineligible. Good cause in Wisconsin includes documented harassment, unsafe working conditions, required relocation, or a substantial change in job terms without corresponding compensation.
Partial Unemployment for Part-Time Workers and Reduced Hours
Wisconsin’s partial unemployment rules are among the strictest in the Midwest. The state provides only a $30 weekly earnings disregard — you can earn up to $30 per week in wages without any effect on your benefit. Earnings above $30 are deducted dollar-for-dollar from your weekly payment.
For example, if your WBA is $280 and you earn $130 from part-time work, you lose $100 in benefits ($130 − $30 = $100), giving you $180 for that week. At higher earnings levels, your UI payment can quickly drop to zero.
This low disregard makes Wisconsin’s partial benefit particularly limited for workers who pick up part-time shifts while job searching. However, workers who take part-time work earning less than their WBA are still better off collecting partial UI than getting nothing.
Workers whose hours were significantly reduced by their employer without a complete layoff can also file for partial benefits, as long as they still meet the availability and work-search requirements.
All wages must be reported when certifying weekly through the DWD’s online system. Wage matching is done quarterly and underreporting constitutes fraud.
Tax Implications of Wisconsin Unemployment Benefits
Wisconsin taxes unemployment compensation as ordinary income at the state level. Wisconsin’s income tax rates are graduated, ranging from 3.5% to 7.65% depending on taxable income. For most UI recipients, the relevant rate will be in the 4.40%–5.30% range.
At the federal level, UI is ordinary taxable income. You’ll receive Form 1099-G from DWD each January with your total payments for the prior year.
You can elect federal tax withholding at 10% and/or state tax withholding from your weekly benefit through the DWD’s online portal. If your annual income is relatively low (after accounting for only 26 weeks of UI), federal taxes may be minimal, but Wisconsin’s state tax still applies to every dollar received. Electing at least state withholding is a good idea.
How to File
File your Wisconsin UI claim online at dwd.wisconsin.gov or call the DWD TeleClaim line at 414-435-7069 (Milwaukee area) or 608-232-0678 (Madison area). You’ll need your Social Security number, work history for the past 18 months, and bank account details for direct deposit.
Wisconsin has a one-week waiting period — the first week you’re eligible is unpaid. Certify every week online or by phone (Sunday through Friday) to confirm your continued eligibility, report wages, and document your job search contacts.
If your claim is denied, you have 21 days from the mailing date to appeal to the DWD Labor and Industry Review Commission (LIRC).
Other Benefits Available to Unemployed Wisconsin Workers
BadgerCare Plus (Medicaid): Wisconsin’s Medicaid program, BadgerCare Plus, covers adults with incomes up to 100% of the federal poverty level (about $15,060 for a single person in 2026). Wisconsin did not expand Medicaid to 138% FPL as most other states did under the ACA. If you earn above 100% FPL, you’ll need to shop on the marketplace. Apply at access.wisconsin.gov.
SNAP (FoodShare Wisconsin): Wisconsin’s FoodShare program provides monthly food assistance on an EBT card. Income limits are set at 200% of the federal poverty level for families with children and 100% FPL for single adults in some categories. Apply at access.wisconsin.gov.
Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program (WHEAP): WHEAP helps income-eligible households pay heating costs. The program typically opens November 1 for the heating season. Applications are processed through county Human Services departments. Find your county contact at dhs.wisconsin.gov.
Wisconsin Fast Forward: Wisconsin’s targeted job training initiative funds short-term training programs at technical colleges aligned with employer needs. If you’re looking to upskill while on UI, Wisconsin Fast Forward grants can pay for technical training programs without tapping into your own savings.
Wisconsin Job Centers: Wisconsin’s Job Center network offers free career counseling, job search assistance, labor market data, and access to Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) training grants. If you were in a mass layoff, your employer may have been required to give you advance notice under the WARN Act — contact your local Job Center immediately if that’s the case.
Wisconsin’s Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Bridge: Workers with disabilities who lose their jobs may qualify for SSI or SSDI while waiting for a claim determination. These programs run parallel to (not in place of) UI.
What to Watch in 2026
Wisconsin’s UI trust fund has been stable, and the state has not had significant employer tax surcharges as a result. DWD typically updates benefit maximums in January. There has been ongoing debate in Wisconsin about raising the $30 earnings disregard, which advocacy groups have called outdated and discouraging to part-time work — watch for any legislative changes at dwd.wisconsin.gov.
For the most current benefit information, job search requirements, and program updates, go to dwd.wisconsin.gov or contact your local Wisconsin Job Center.
The web portal is really difficult to navigate and doesn’t make a lot of sense, “You have no issues preventing payment.” except no payments for the last 4 months.
I have been waiting 44 weeks for my PUA benefits cause im on SSDI. It is June 18 2021 they owe me since October 10 2020. Everytime i call PUA they tell me a different story today i called and PUA says i have to reapply. I feel like giving up.
I am going on 16 weeks: two adjudicators. The last one – by the name of Ryan – promised pay out in 24-72 hours. Well, Ryan – that was two weeks ago. I just got off the phone with another person – yet another title. All the same. He reached out to the “processing” department, as he could not find a valid reason for holdup. Cool: so, when will I be paid the $8,000 (give or take) that I am owed. ((crickets chirping)). I am interviewing for jobs, actively. I am also two months behind on bills, and about to have my car repossessed. I really hate this state. I collected unemployment in Illinois – last year – at the height of the pandemic (due to a layoff). Start to finish: 3 weeks (maybe 4).
I wouldn’t give up. I’m speaking with reporters from the Milwaukee Sentinel Journal. Maybe an article that goes viral will light a fire under the a$$es of the worthless employees at DWD and UI. That, or a class-action lawsuit. Frankly, the politicians who run this state are accountable – so, hold all of them accountable.
If you are approved for benefits, end of story. They need to pay: enough of the bull$hit excuses. If the “system” is advanced enough for us to report out employment searches and interviews, they can pay.
Th.is is Sherry Plante again. Im ready to file a lawsuit with Wisconsin, it is now October 10th 2021 have not received anything and now PUA said to file back from August 2020 nothin but i need g in the bank or any letters from PUA. Im ready to lose everything i worked so hard for before Covid. I am working on limited hours b.ut i need what is rightfully mine. Thank You.
Has anyone at all received a response after applying (intial application claim) for the new expanded qualifying criteria PUA?? It’s been 5 weeks that I’ve been waiting to see if I’m even approved or not. All they will tell me is that they don’t know how long I’ll have to wait. I did not qualify in 2020 when my life was falling apart because of the pandemic. All of my savings is long gone. **My gas tank is empty and I have kids.** I have been freaking out! I don’t sleep. I’m having trouble getting hired back into my profession. I actually NEED HELP. But no one will tell me a thing. Are they even processing the applications??!!?
Any information anyone could offer me would be much appreciated. ~Thank you.
Can anyone help me? I got a letter saying I could get all the PEUC and FPUC extensions until September 2021 but my portal is zeroed out and and still saying my payments are held held. This is after they said I didn’t qualify for a new UI year. Will it eventually update, we were told late march but it’s been like this for 2 months. Thanks in advance.
Looks like you are stuck in the PUA claimants group that is awaiting special programming by the DWD (see there website). They should be resolving the issuees soon, so just hang in there and keep calling/checking online for updates.
It’s actually a glitch I personally just went through this. Check your determinations on your portal. It’s a possibility that instead of going back to your original program PEUC it’s stuck in applying and denying you regular unemployment. Than check out document history to see if you received an letter regarding your PEUC 4/1 or later if so call and ask for a tier two and if they can’t help you make an appointment. They have to manually re enter you into the program problem is a lot of people receiving PEUC portals are not updating. A tier one can’t see all your documents but tier two can and if you make an appointment that’s a tier three and they can manually re enter you to the program. I personally just went through this myself. But if you didn’t receive the Peuc letter in your documents as of April 1 for the quarterly check than you have to wait. You aren’t alone and it’s not as simple as what the website says.
Thank you, I will do this tm
YES, I ALSO HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM!!! I CALLED A LAWYER WHO SPECIALIZES IN THESE MATTERS. HE HAD CALLED ME BACK IN A MATTER OF, AND IM NOT KIDDING YOU ON THIS, MINUTES!!!! HE HAD TOLD. ME, FOUR DAYS, WI HAS FIXED THE GLITCHES, AND PEUC WILL BE PAID TO THE 90% OF THE UNEMPLOYED WHO ARE GOING THROUGH, OUR EXACT SITUATION!! IF THIS WONT WHET YOUR PALLETT, THEN LOOK UP THE NUMBER ON YOUR PORTAL, IT WILL BE ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN, UNDER CONTACT US!!! HOPE THIS HELPS !!!!!
Would you share the name of the lawyer I am not seeing any progress.
Yeah waiting months again…..
(December 26th) After the politicians put my small business out of business last March 2020. The reason for all of this is Corrupt politicians and out dated computer programs system from the 1970’s that they keep pushing off revamping the whole system. They received all this money from the federal government the last year millions and billions of dollars and can’t buy a new system? They just keep putting bandages on the ancient problem while the people who actually need the money are stuck wait and the politicians take vacations and collect their checks and stuff their pockets with Insider trading and other corrupt actions. Wisconsin is last for just about everything. One of the last to states to allow Concealed carry.
So i am exhausted of my benefits monies. I received 600$ for the 2 weeks (300 per week) of new cares act. Then i ran out of money. So i have filed the last 2 weeks and have not received anything and my payment history says no payment made because exhausted or does not have benefit weeks. (my weeks ends may 21) but no money in account. Do i keep just filing every week and they will pay my weekly and 300 boost when they have it programmed? Or am i suppose to apply for PUA? (I am /was getting benefits under PEUA) i have been told just keep filing and i also have been told to file for PUA. I dont want to file for PUA and chance holding up my case even longer if i am not suppose to go that route. I have read and called lots of things and people and keep getting told different things. Does anyone know if i just wait it out or file PUA?
Do not file PUA, whomever told you that was wrong. Because they told me to do the same thing, but I didn’t have too. It will take longer because it will have to go through adjudication for them to cancel the PUA claim. It just playing the waiting game!!! Now I have to go through another Adjudication and wait on them to update my portal with the rest of my PFUC funds.
I got $300 today out of the $600 LWA back pay… I’m not sure why I only got 1/2 of it…did this happen to anyone else? It should’ve actually been $900 but I’ve exhausted my funds as of last week so until the new extension kicks in my unemployment and LWA will be on hold again. Last time it took 7 weeks for the extension to kick in. I see a few of you are on week 14 of waiting for your initial claim and wondering how much longer it might be, well I waited 18 weeks for my initial claim. At week 15 no one had even asked me for any paperwork or suggested I send it in but I knew I had to send it in. So instead of waiting for them to request my paperwork(doctors notes and proof of separation from employer) so I asked for the fax number. A couple weeks after I got a letter with forms for my doctor to fill out which I immediately faxed to my Dr. And faxed in (they didn’t even see my first fax which was sufficient) Soon as I faxed those in I finally got the call from my Judicary and I got paid the next day after 18 weeks. So my advice to you is if you have paperwork relevant to your claim call and get the fax number so when the judiciary looks at your case it’s all already in the system otherwise you’ll have to wait for your letter gather your paperwork and either mail of fax in which could cause you a longer delay. Your Judicary will call you. The people you get when you call don’t really know much unfortunately but they can help you figure out if there is any paperwork you should be gathering if you haven’t already good luck.
If they have the system updated for the extra $300 since last week Friday and started paying it out why do we have to wait 8days to receive the backpay they already have us cut off of the PEUC and PUA until who knows rents almost due
Yeah, I could not agree more. My PUA exhausted Dec. 27th so because of the delay getting the new relief bill signed into law I had a week with no benefits. Then the new relief bill becomes law, and I become eligible for 11 more weeks, each with $300 added on to my minimum $163. Because the programming for my weekly $163 was recently a part of the system, you would think that could at least continue, if nothing else. Until the $300 additional weekly gets added on/back paid. Yet I was basically moved to the bottom of the pile again.
The governor called a special session of the state legislature earlier this month, to address the ANTIQUATED as ALL HELL computer system at the DWD, and the Wisconsin GOP immediately adjourned the session without addressing a god damn WORD of this problem. I don’t like to get political, because I honestly could give a shit if you’re a liberal or conservative, but that’s a politically-motivated move by the Wisconsin GOP and for some of us who are barely hanging on, that’s our lives they’re just casually, limp-wristed gaveling away – not because of some sort of actual principles or even a legitimate opposition to anything – they do it just so they can be dick heads to the governor whose politics they disagree with. Like it’s a joke. Like it’s reality TV. Just dumb, meaningless, idiot BS…and I can’t pay rent.
I couldn’t agree more!! WI politics are the WORST.
Looks like I have at least 14 more weeks to wait.
Has anyone else not received the LWA payment in Wisconsin yet? This is getting frustrating. If they started making payments on October 22nd, I would think in almost 2 weeks all payments should be out.
Yes, I have not and I was told I am eligible by unemployment.
I see someone asked a similar question, but I was hoping for some clarity.
I was on unemployment due to layoffs at work. I started backed up a couple of weeks ago so am no longer on unemployment/no longer filing.
Since I was filing for all of the weeks eligible for the LWA, will I still be getting the assistance. Or since I am now employed am I no longer eligible?
You would be eligible for those weeks (Aug 1 to Sep 5) – but you will need to reopen your claim and ensure you certified/verified for LWA payments via the website. See article for details.
I also filed all the weeks they are approved for and am also receiving pua. I called them yesterday and all they would say is that all LWA payments were scheduled to be paid by October 31st. Well it’s the 3pth and last day of the week and I still have no change in my dashboard about lwa. I’m at a point of just not trying. I waited from april until the end of August to even recieve my initial unemployment. Wisconsin is a joke. Biggest mistake they mad was not finishing their overhaul of their system.
Does anyone know if you were unemployed for all or some of the weeks listed for the LWA but have recently started working, will you receive the retro-pay for the weeks you were unemployed?
Wisconsin started making LWA payments and hitting accounts today. DWD has said delays were due to complex programming needed to their existing systems (yet other states able to get it out much faster!). Payments will be made over the next few days and should all be disbursed by next week. Article updated
The max is 6 weeks and you need to meet LWA eligibility criteria for each of the weeks to get the maximum $1800 payment or you will just $300 p/week you were eligible. Yes all retro now since last date of the program was Sep 5th.
Thank you Andy! I live in Wisconsin and I did receive my LWA payments tonight. I noticed on my unemployment page. There also was a message about the six weeks being payed and eligibility requirements. So Wisconsin is finally paying out!
Hi Lisa, I live in Wisconsin and am still waiting for my lwa payment. I was wondering what the letter is to your last name cause I read that they may be distributing them by last name and mine starts with S. I just checked again and still haven’t received it. If you could let give me any info on it I would greatly appreciate it, Thanks
So what the heck is the new collaboration with google cloud and DWD? is that what they have been working on instead of “programming the system” for LWA payments for us wisconsin people that are out of work and have no money and need that extra money for rent and little things like food lol I read their press release and i know i dont understand all the wording but sounds like they are going to get info from google on people that apply. Is that true? Is our privacy policy thru google going to be compromised? Since they have that done Maybe now they can work on the LWA payments…..
If Wisconsin won’t finish. Programming until the end of October, wouldn’t this actually mean that Wisconsinites won’t actually get the $300 LWA payment until November?????
When does Wisconsin plan on paying the lwa? Can you update this table? Thanks!
Still no specific date, other then end of October per their official LWA page.
14 weeks and waiting! Not just for the $300…for ANY benefit! I FINALLY have an appt. for a call back today at 2pm BUT every time I have talked to anyone there I’ve been told that I “just have to wait”, that they are behind for everyone. I am no longer hopeful at this point.
Can u please update this….like someone eles said wisconsin is the only state without any date..wy? Wy is wisconsin always last to do everything…our govener dragged his feet on applying for this knowing we needed this…i have a family of 4 to feed …we were doing great till u closed my work down for this PLANdemic…please help the people of Wisconsin for once
Article/dates updated. Wisconsin started making LWA payments and hitting accounts today for many eligible recipients. DWD has said delays were due to complex programming needed to their existing systems (yet other states able to get it out much faster!). Payments will be made over the next few days and should all be disbursed by next week.
Everybody upset it might take until the end of October to recieve the extra $300, meanwhile im here, a single mom doing everything she can to hardly get buy waiting on receiving my INITIAL unemployment claim for nearly 14 weeks. Can’t make it with the extra $300? Try getting by without almost 14 weeks of pay. They need to get the INITIAL claims out before the extra goes out.. at least those waiting for the boost are getting something well some us aren’t getting anything besides collection calls, eviction notices, and hungry cause we haven’t received anything. I lost my home, im gonna lose my car, I can’t afford to pay child care so I can go back to work, I need to get food and clothes for my son and I have no way of doing so. Something has to give right now cause some of us can’t continue to lose it all. Id rather have a little money for my bills and such than nothing at all.
Really sorry to hear your story Megan. Please call your state UI agency (you may have to try several times) to get someone. Also you should contact local churches and aid agencies to see if they can help you as well. Google “aid options near me” to see what is locally available. If you don’t get help, leave a comment here and I can try and help a little.
First I want to apologize for what you are going through no one should have been put in the position to lose everything they have worked hard for. And struggling like this is so beyond unfair. Myself if it weren’t for my tax refund I would have been in position it took almost two and half months to receive unemployment. My payments kept saying pending for weeks on end. If you payments say pending on your dashboard call the collections for unemployment 608-266-9701 and also email these people email [email protected] whoever these people are they are awesome. I called the collections number I was unemployed years and years ago so I went by any chance was I over paid or something cause my payments have been pending I have sent all my paperwork I want to know what’s going on no one is helping me here and I know no one within unemployment is going to pay my bills. The lady looked into my account and says no but I am not understanding why your payments haven’t been released it was simply her hitting button she apologized to whoever didn’t finish my claim and I had it in two days. Emailing them also helped they did get back to me a day later but looked into my account called me and told me payment was on the way. That they were confused also why it wasn’t released a month before that. It’s worth the shot if the payments are pending. Figured I would share my experience if anything maybe it would help in someway. I am so sorry you are going through this I truly am.
I know how you feel Megan. I waited from feb till the 3rd week in July . I got a eviction notice prior to that . I tried to explain to the courts I even applied for the $3400 rent help with proper paperwork But My landlord did not cooperate with me ! I was tossed out in the streets . Then Trump stopped evictions but it was to late for me . The unemployment payment came it came all at once which was great but the money was supposed to help me get on my feet not find a new house moving storage & then find a place with a eviction not easy those unemployment funds ! I think got wasted . So I feel your pain please try and wait it out but do what you can on your rent . I’d hate to see a single mom be in my situation on Jan 1st when the evictions start again. The only nice thing is they will and do pay you all at once for the weeks you are waiting so you will receive a huge amount ! Hang in there I don’t wish your situation on anyone ! Keep your head up Megan the sad thing is all you can do is starve , be broke & wait for that big check . I hope you get it in the next few weeks ! Wish for the best n expect the worse they take forever . I was not prepared fir the worst I thought I was in IT !!!!!!! G luck !
Yeah i agree what the heck is taking wisconsin so flipping long 8 weeks that is a lifetime to those of us out of work and have no money! Tony evers has dragged his feet on this whole process! Waiting 3 weeks to even apply when he KNOWS we have a “supposably” outdated computer system! Why would u wait 3 weeks to even apply if u know its gonna take forever to reprogramming the system!! He (tony evers) has dropped the ball on this for all wisconsinites! This is appalling that we are the LAST state to recieve this benifit and 3 weeks after everyone else has stated getting it!(if its end of october) how is it they were able to reprogram faster for the 600? Maybe they should hire off the street coders and programmers they would have it done already!!
Misty, I’m not happy about that either. I appreciate him getting rid of the waiting week and the job search though, but yeah waiting this long for the 300 is too long! We should get 400 for the long wait!
Don’t blame Evers, blame the obsolete computer systems that Walker failed to update. If Walker was still governor, you wouldn’t see any state assistance.
It isn’t obsolete. they are just saying that. I used to live in Mississippi. They are at least 20 years behind in technology. They had their people paid first week of sept. I have heard from multiple programmers that it shouldn’t take more than a few days. A week at most.
None of the aid we received was from the state Evers won’t allow it he waited to long to apply for the federal aid we got . I don’t by that they couldn’t send it faster there system was upgraded . That’s how we got the extra $600 from the cares act ! All they would have to do is use the same system! Evers should have applied ASAP democratic or republicans politics . Should not have played a roll . He said he didn’t agree where the funds came from which was FEMA . Arizona applied the same week that the executive order came out That state use the same system and get their checks out within a week if he knew the computers were going to take this long to upgrade he should’ve took the funds immediately that’s just my opinion though I don’t think either parties are doing well We have our interest in mind or what’s right for the public. Hope everyone has a great day and things will get better soon
Agree 100% he waited to long to ask for those FEMA funds because he is politically motivated. He does not care about us fighting to pay rent get food ETC . I lost the roof over my head in august then bam my Cliam was approved instead of rebuilding my life I had to use it to pay storage move & try and find a place to stay that excepts evictions ! He forgot about us little guys there was nothing I could do but try & move forward & wait again for this 300 which should be 400 a week . Evers said Wisconsin can’t afford the extra $100 but yet everyone needs it bad the collect so much when the economy is good ! He should dig deep n find that $100 bucks n defund one of his ideas we won’t use ! Sorry I was rambling that hits home !! Good luck n have a great day !!
Yes, why is it Tony Evers waited 3 damn weeks before even applying? I Mean he bypasses blame on his self. And Wisconsin residents are hungry, homeless and broke. This includes myself Why do we always have the most outdate shit in our State? I Mean let’s just tell it like it is at least for me and my family. NONE and I mean Not a damn one that I can think of gives 2 shits about any of us Americans that make this state and country run!!!! Not Tony Evers, Congrests, Democrats or Republicans. It is so sad to realize that the only time these morons do anything even emotely to assist us or rush to get us what we need and are owed is only when their pocket books are affected. I Wonder if Tony Evers was relying on these benefits or the Dwd heads would it still be 8 weeks then or would they move their asses just a little quicker???? Hmmm…,… SMH CAN WE GET SOME RELIEF?
He wanted clarification of the wording…..
I understand what you’re saying because I too was evicted waiting for 14 weeks of unemployment and multiple weeks of the lwa. The only good thing about it is when I was self-employed I end up finding a RV very cheap and purchasing it every hobby project. Sorry to say that project is now become my home. I am still pending unemployment status I’ll go I call multiple times every morning. I think we all need to get government jobs so we can run around screw up and get weekly checks just like they do. It is crazy that if the phrase I’m sorry took care of anything it would create a vaccine for covid-19 now with the amount of times I’ve heard it from the unemployment agencies! What is even worse they’re still planning on building more prisons throughout this time. And who her that they are letting inmates file for pandemic assistance!!! To them it is only a business and we are the merchandise. See they’re working very hard for the inmates can start receiving funds because the only thing they can do is grease their pockets with that money
This is what needs to happen in politics before you run for an office you need to readjust the Lifestyle by force, I mean completely live like a normal resident in your community. And this should go for all hire Representatives Mayors Governors judges district attorneys and so forth. If you can account for someone else’s lifestyle I think you need to be placed in that lifestyle before you even get a chance to represent your county state or federal government.
Example: before a person can even become a judge they should have to sit down in a courtroom and be judged sit down jobs for prosecutor get convicted and take that long bus ride to prison and see what it’s like
I can say this to everyone who is reading this. I grew up Phenix City where this situation is nothing. Yes I lost my house a career job a material items. But like my dad told me hanging go hard because the only builds character.
It’s going to be a long struggle and these times are not over with yet everybody Focus stick together because we are what makes this country great! I mean come on people let’s go back to the Stone Age. We might not have everything what if we have each other will have enough.
Who knows the old story about making rock soup?
Wy is wisconsin taking the longest…8 weeks is a little rediculess…almost all other states have already started paying..i don’t understand wy Wisconsin is last to do anything…my family needs this money
When are we supposed to be getting the extra 300?? Wisconsin is taking a long time!! On there website it doesn’t say updating until end of October anymore!!
Why is it taking 8 weeks, when other states have already started to disburst the extra $300? Since the dates keeps charging, which dates are correct? The rep i spoke to started that they will be released before then… What is the truth?
i have been reading that the Wisconsin DWD states we wont see any payments for the LWA unti end of OCTOBER!!! what!!! I noticed this article is saying end of September….who is right? my family needs this extra income so bad! Im so tired of this system not helping the people who really need it the most!
You can go to the official DWD site (link in article) and confirm their statement – “Programming for LWA is expected to be completed by the end of October 2020. Benefits will be paid retroactively for those determined eligible.”
Unfortunately Wisconsin looks like it will be one of, if not the last state to play out LWA benefits.
