FEMA Lost Wages Supplemental Payment For New York State

The President signed an executive order to extend an extra $300 payment for those who have been affected by COVID-19. If you lost employment due to COVID-19 in New York State you could be receiving the extra $300. The Federal Emergency Management Agency approved New York for the Lost Wages Supplemental Payment on Sunday.

So, that means if you are receiving unemployment compensation you will receive the lost wages payment as well. FEMA will work with Governor Andrew Cuomo on the extended benefit payments for New York State. The extension will go through December but may end if Congress agrees on a stimulus package or at least until the funding for the benefits run out.
