The department is reviewing information received over the weekend from the U.S. Department of Labor to begin putting processes in place to distribute important funding under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, andEconomic Security Act or CARES Act. Congress and President Trump have enacted emergency programs to assist those left unemployed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and now the U.S. Department of Labor and all50 state governments are working diligently to put those programs inplace. The UI provisions in the CARES Act create new federal benefitpayment programs. The department pointed out that even if it takesnumerous weeks to put them in place, the benefits will cover those whowere unemployed at least back to March 29th.
