HENRICO Co., Va. (WWBT) - Virginians anxiously waiting to file claims under the extended Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) program will have to wait a bit longer.
In the Virginia Employment Commission’s (VEC) weekly update Wednesday, it stated “The VEC continues to work to implement this program. More information will be forthcoming… Please monitor your Gov2Go account.”
The PEUC program is one of two federal unemployment benefit programs extended until March 13, 2021, through the Continued Assistance Act signed by former President Donald Trump on Dec. 27, 2020.
