Morgan’s Tip of the Week – The End of Federal Unemployment
Greetings,
Florida has announced an early end to the $300 Federal Unemployment benefit on 6/26/21. The Federal Benefit was slated to expire on 9/6/21, but several states have ended the program earlier. Florida will revert back to the state maximum of $275 a week. If you are taking an offset this will have to be adjusted as of 6/26.
I would recommend sending out DWC-19’s for June. In the past, the Federal UE had run out and was extended (twice), but this time it appears a for real end as it is the state refusing the boost, not the law expiring.
As an aside, because many of you work with our other offices, GA is ending 6/26 and TN is ending 7/3. If you want information on the impact in those states, please let me know and I will connect you with our attorneys.
Sincerely,
