INDIANAPOLIS – Hoosiers receiving unemployment insurance benefits can visit the Indiana Department of Workforce Development’s (DWD) website to find information about how the American Relief Plan Act (ARPA) might affect their benefits.
The information includes changes to program dates and benefit levels for the Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC), Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA), Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC), and Mixed Earners Unemployment Compensation (MEUC) programs.
ARPA, signed by President Biden on March 11, extends the federal program from week ending March 20 through the week ending Sept. 4. The latest federal weekly benefit was set to expire on March 14.
