Are there other federal stimulus funds available for Unemployment Insurance?
The Texas Workforce Commission announced on February 24, 2009 that eligible claimants will receive an additional $25 a week in unemployment benefits. This increase in benefits applies to benefits paid from February 22, 2009 to initial claims made by December 26, 2009. This increase in benefits is federally funded and applies to all unemployment benefits paid. Employers will not be charged additional funds.
