Disaster Unemployment Assistance deadline extended for 6 Kentucky counties: How to apply

FRANKFORT, Ky. (FOX 56) — Those who became unemployed due to severe storms and tornadoes that blew across Kentucky from May 16-17 will have an extra month to apply for unemployment help.

Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) registration for those impacted in Caldwell, Laurel, Pulaski, Russell, Trigg, and Union counties has been extended to Aug. 22.

How can residents apply?

Those who were unemployed, self-employed, or working in areas impacted by the May storms are eligible to apply for DUA benefits through the Kentucky Career Center.

To qualify, applicants will need to show proof of loss of employment as a direct result of the disaster, according to a news release from Gov. Beshear on Wednesday.

Beshear’s office wrote that the State Emergency Operations Center has been activated, along with price gouging laws to protect state residents from overpriced services and goods as they cleaned up following severe storms.
