Texans Will No Longer Receive $300 in Federal Jobless Benefits, Workforce Commission Says

[douglas9]

The federal government is about to turn off the tap for Texans who were getting an extra $300 a week in jobless benefits, according to the Texas Workforce Commission.

In a letter sent to claimants, TWC said the Federal Emergency Management Agency notified it that the funds — authorized through an executive order by President Donald Trump — will stop flowing after the week of September 5.

TWC said it had no part in the decision to stop the funding and that claimants won't be able to appeal it. Around 1.8 million Texans receive the $300 payment, the Texas Tribune reports, citing TWC data

1. Those in Ohio have not received any yet, so I guess they are out of luck.

The crash that is coming is going to be massive !!!

2. CA was approved for an additional two weeks, for a total of 5 weeks.

Payments are backdated to July 26, when the $600 ran out. Which means any Californian on UI will have already qualified for $1500...and that’s it. Expect no more “tRump” extension $. Of course, if your CA weekly benefit is under $100, you don’t qualify for tRump’s extension. My daughter gets $97 a week, so she’s out of luck.

BTW - I’m on UI in CA - haven’t seen a cent of that $300 a week benefit yet.
