The U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration awarded a $994,546 Project Grant to the State of California Employment Development Department (EDD) to provide Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) benefits to unemployed workers and self-employed individuals affected by a major disaster, as authorized under the Unemployment Insurance (CFDA 17.225) federal grant program.
The purpose of this grant is to provide temporary partial income replacement for individuals who are unemployed or partially unemployed as a direct result of the declared disaster and are not eligible for regular unemployment compensation. EDD will use the grant funds to administer DUA benefits to eligible individuals in California who are unable to work or access their place of employment due to the disaster. The expected outcome is to support the necessities of living for affected workers and self-employed individuals until they are able to return to employment.
