Kentucky will accept applications for Disaster Unemployment Assistance for residents impacted by severe storms last month. WNIN’s John Gibson has details:
Gov. Andy Beshear says the commonwealth will accept applications from individuals in 13 counties who are out of work as a result of the April 2nd storms.
The counties include Hopkins and Christian in western Kentucky.
President Trump approved Beshear’s request for a major disaster declaration for the state about three weeks after the tornadoes and flooding.
Gov. Beshear says he will request more designations and counties be added to the declaration when ongoing assessments are completed.
Affected individuals can visit the Kentucky Career Center website at kcc.ky.gov or call 502-564-2900 to file a claim.
The deadline to apply for assistance is June 23rd.
