Unemployed Rhode Islanders will receive an additional two weeks of FEMA’s $300 unemployment boost according to the Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training. This is on top of the three weeks previously granted dating back to August 1st for a total of $1,500.
Rhode Island chose not to include the additional $100 state assistance payment.
Currently no additional federal unemployment insurance is expected after the Senate Democrats blocked a $300 billion GOP stimulus package.
