The Lost Wages Assistance (LWA) program (implemented in August 2020), which provided supplemental payments to certain individuals for a limited number of weeks, is not included as it is not an unemployment program. This disaster assistance program is administered by states and territories through a grant agreement with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under Presidentially-declared disasters for COVID-19 relief. For additional information, refer to https://www.fema.gov/disasters/coronavirus/supplemental-payments-lost-wages.
PL 108-11 (enacted in April 2003), which provided additional benefits (up to 39 or 52 weeks) to displaced airline and related workers under the TEUC-A program, is not included as it did not change the basic TEUC program.
