Various headlines as different states open up application options, see below. A reduction in hours or cuts to zero may be considered constructive dismissal and allow collection of benefits but many states are allowing expedited collection or no wait times. Layoffs have hit hard and these types of headlines have floated around for a lot of states.

- dillonmckay 7y agoThanks for that info. I had assumed there was some Federal coordination, but I see it is up to each state to take initiative.
- blaser-waffle 7y agoThis federal government tale initiative? LOL "I don't take responsibility at all" -- DJT Thankfully most states are picking up the slack. I know Ohio passed something comprehensive for the service/restaurant folks and was looking at more support.
- charwalker 7y agoIf it is a state managed program it will go through the state government/governor however they may appeal to the federal government which may have further help now that various emergency measures are in place.
