As a caregiver to my spouse who lost her battle with Cancer, I know firsthand, like so many others, how hard the fight against Cancer can be on both the fighter and the family.I ask everyone to lift up Commissioner Bruce Thompson and his family during this difficult time. #gapol

This morning, my bride of the last 9 years lost her battle with cancer. She loved taking care of her family and strangers alike. Also, she had a very mischievous sense of humor that made us all laugh. We miss you Chantell. 05/01/1974-06/22/2023

For those complaining about UI processing slower than usual: GA processed (an increase) of 3x its closest state. "The largest increases in initial claims for the week ending 04/04 were GA (+256,312), MI (+84,219), AZ (+43,488)." bit.ly/2Kd5wwF /cc: @Butler4GA @GeorgiaDOL

@Butler4GA Thank you Commissioner Butler and Pamela from GDOL for being hands on and providing help to many confused, laid off workers. Despite the rise in claims, you all work with urgency to get things solved.

For self-employed, gig workers and 1099 workers we are working on an easy way for you to file. USDOL is requiring your 2019 tax return and/or we can substitute a 1099 with some self-attesting. Currently working with Georgia Department of revenue for an easy solution for everyone.

For individuals that are currently receiving state unemployment benefits, it looks like we should be able to start putting in the additional $600 at this time next week. Including all back monies owed. The delay was caused by extra steps that USDOL wants us to take........

Those additional steps include honoring any intercepts that are out there for individuals that owe back taxes and child support. All of that has to be programmed into our system.

This is an unfair article. Some reporters think it's easy to make all this happen, there are a lot of moving parts, a lot of IT design, rules to be written. It would be more helpful if the press would help set expectations. I know something about this... nbcnews.com/business/busines…

And this is not a political opinion about this. It's a practical one. Large complicated programs like this usually take months if not years, we're talking less than a month.

The USDOL did send states some guidance, but it seems like it's mainly a summary of the legislation and not what states need for implementation dol.gov/newsroom/releases/et…
