Louisiana paid $346M in unemployment benefits in January
The Louisiana Workforce Commission says it paid out $346 million in unemployment benefits to almost 197,000 people in January.
The Workforce Commission says it has cleared most of a 30,000-claim backlog from early this month, though almost 3,500 of those claims await additional review.
“The vast majority of the claims remaining in our queue are from claimants whose home address does not match that on their ID,” LWC Secretary Ava Dejoie said. “Many have a Louisiana address but an out of state driver’s license.
These cases take longer to process as we continue to combat and prevent fraud.”

Here’s what’s in the Biden and GOP stimulus proposals
President Joe Biden and a group of 10 Republican senators have very different ideas for the next coronavirus relief bill.
The President last month outlined a $1.9 trillion package that included a wide range of immediate assistance for struggling families, such as $1,400 stimulus checks and extended unemployment, nutrition and eviction aid, and longer-term changes, such as a $15 hourly minimum wage.
But the measure immediately ran into resistance from Republicans on Capitol Hill. In response, a group of 10 senators on Sunday released their own roughly $618 billion relief proposal less than one-third the size of the President’s. They provided a chart detailing the cost of their plan on Monday morning.
