(NBC 26) — Disaster unemployment assistance is now available for Wisconsin workers impacted by July's severe storms and tornadoes.
The program covers eligible workers in Forest, Outagamie, Vilas, and Winnebago counties. It is for those who lost work directly because of the disaster and do not qualify for regular unemployment benefits. Self-employed workers may also qualify.
Workers must first apply for regular unemployment benefits before they can be considered for disaster assistance.
The deadline to apply is Dec. 7.
