The Department of Labor and Workforce Development announced that it is helping people from Giles County  looking for assistance through a new unemployment benefits program funded by the Federal CARES Act.
“This program offers an additional 13 weeks of unemployment benefits from the federal government to people who have exhausted either their regular Tennessee unemployment or their Pandemic Unemployment Assistance,” Department of Labor and Workforce Development spokesman Chris Cannon said.
A person from the county must be able and available to work in order to be eligible to receive this unemployment.
People will have to go back online and refile their claim once it is expired.
