Applications for disaster unemployment assistance being accepted in Louisiana
Residents ask for an increase in state unemployment benefits during a rally at the Louisiana Capitol.
As a result of President Joe Biden’s disaster declaration for the mid-May storms in Louisiana, the state Workforce Commission is offering disaster unemployment assistance (DUA) available to businesses and residents.
The Louisiana Workforce Commission is accepting applications for DUA until the deadline of July 6 from individuals and businesses in the parishes of Ascension, Calcasieu, East Baton Rouge, Iberville, and Lafayette whose employment or self-employment was lost or interrupted as a direct result of the storms, tornadoes and flooding that occurred May 17 to May 21.
