The deadline for Kentuckians impacted by April storms and flooding to apply for Disaster Unemployment Assistance has been extended.
The registration deadline for disaster survivors in all counties designated for Individual Assistance has been extended to until July 25. This includes Kentuckians living or working in Breckinridge, Bullitt, Grayson, Hardin, Hart, LaRue, Meade, and Nelson counties.
According to a release from the governor’s office, “In order to qualify for DUA benefits, claimants in eligible counties must show that their employment or self-employment was lost or interrupted as a direct result of the disaster and that they are not otherwise eligible for regular unemployment insurance benefits under state or federal law.” Farmers and self-employed individuals who are usually not eligible for unemployment may qualify for DUA benefits.
Affected individuals should visit the Kentucky Career Center’s website at kcc.ky.gov or call the career center at 502-564-2900 to file their initial claim. Benefits are available for up to 29 weeks, between April 6 and October 25.
The governor’s office said in the release that the state is still waiting for approval from the White House on its request for Public Assistance, which would make funding available for repairs to public infrastructure damaged by the storms and flooding such as roads and bridges.
