- an additional $600 per week (through July 31, 2020), over and above the regular benefits provided by the state
- 13 additional weeks of unemployment benefits, beyond the state's maximum, through December 31, 2020; and
- unemployment benefits under the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) program, through December 31, 2020, for some individuals who wouldn't otherwise qualify.
- you can't get to your workplace due to a quarantine, or it was closed because of the public health emergency
- you or someone in your household has COVID-19
- you have to care for a child whose school is closed, or
- you had to quit working because of COVID-19.
