Pandemic Unemployment Assistance
The Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) Program was established by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act to provide unemployment assistance to eligible individuals whose employment was interrupted as a direct result of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The PUA Program also includes a supplemental program to provide additional benefits to qualified applicants, known as Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC). Additional federal legislation (Continued Assistance for Unemployed Workers Act and American Rescue Plan Act) allowed for the PUA/FPUC Programs to extend past December 26, 2020 to September 4, 2021.
