Louisiana
Louisiana was another of the first states to receive unemployment assistance from FEMA on Aug. 15.
“I am very proud that we were among the first two states to administer Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) and among the first states to submit an application for lost wage assistance.
As always, we will continue to work diligently for the people of Louisiana,” LWC Secretary Ava Dejoie said in a statement.
“As soon as these funds are available to us, we will move quickly to pay them out,” Gov. John Bel Edwards said in a statement on Aug. 13.
