I got laid off today. My client is an automotive account and they slashed more than 50% of their budget due to the state of the world.

For those who have been laid off due to this pandemic....

Do you need to have COVID in your termination letter? I’m wondering about my eligibility for the Federal Pandemic Unemployment program (the additional $600 a week). Does something need to indicated the pandemic to qualify?

Trying to get everything straight.

Hi OP, I don’t think so. I could be wrong so please others chime in, but I was just laid off as well and my research found that the extra $600 will be deposited once you apply for your normal state unemployment.
