In response to the recent tornado outbreak impacting Middle Tennessee counties, the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development (TDLWD) has announced the availability of Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA). This support follows an expedited federal disaster declaration approved by President Joe Biden. The affected counties include Davidson, Dickson, Montgomery, and Sumner, and the associated DUA applications can be submitted till January 16, 2024. To be considered eligible for DUA, individuals must meet certain criteria regarding their work status and how it has been impacted by the acutely catastrophic weather event. Applications can be made at Jobs4TN.gov or via the provided phone number. For successful applications, certain documentation such as a Social Security number, an updated federal income tax form or paycheck stubs, and evidence of an applicant’s work or self-employment at the time of the disaster must be provided within a stipulated time period. Meanwhile, those looking for job resources, postings, and training programs can visit the local American Job Centers. Websites like Jobs4TN.gov also cater to job seekers by connecting them with potential employers. In such situations, services like EDDCaller.com can be beneficial for those affected by natural disasters, as it provides an effective way to reach representative for unemployment, paid family leave and disability benefits.
