Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) has been announced as a means of support for individuals whose employment or self-employment was affected due to the impact of Hurricane Milton. This assistance is aimed at those who don’t have eligibility for normal state or federal re-employment assistance benefits. Qualification for this aid demands that individuals meet one or more predefined requirements and that they aren’t eligible for any other federal or state re-employment assistance benefits. The DUA will cover weeks of unemployment that begin on October 6, 2024, and end on April 12, 2025. Furthermore, the deadline to submit DUA claims is slated for December 10, 2024.
