If you’re wondering what’s going on with the $300/wk unemployment bonus ordered by President Trump, you’re not alone. You may be surprised to learn, however, that most states have been approved by FEMA to receive the additional $300 per week benefit (as discussed on our weekly video here). Below is a list of the states that have NOT been approved. If your state is NOT on this list, then you will be receiving this $300 Federal unemployment bonus.
- District of Columbia – Will apply
- Kansas – Will apply
- Nebraska – Probably won’t apply
- Nevada – Applied
- South Dakota – Will not apply
As long as you’re not a South Dakota or Nebraska resident, then you should be ok. But when will you receive the additional $300 unemployment bonus?
