NY State Excluded Employees Fund - applications to open in August |
|
-
Governor Cuomo and the State Legislature passed the Excluded Worker Fund, the first such large-scale program in the country on April 19, 2021. This $2.1 billion fund will provide financial relief for New Yorkers state-wide who have suffered income loss during the pandemic and were left out of the various federal relief programs, including unemployment and pandemic benefits.
- The application process for workers seeking to receive funding from the Excluded Workers Fund (EWF) is slated to begin in August 2021.
To be eligible to receive benefits from the Fund, applicants must show they:
- Lived in New York State before March 27, 2020, and continue to live in New York State;
- Are not eligible for and did not receive unemployment insurance or any other COVID-19 income relief or other specified benefits from the state or federal government;
- Earned less than $26,208 in the 12 months prior to April 2021; and
- Lost a certain percentage (to be announced) of income after February 23, 2020 and during the benefit period from March 27, 2020 through April 1, 2021 due to unemployment, partial employment, or inability to work due to a disability. Applicants may also be eligible if they became responsible for a majority of their household income due to death or disability of the head of household.
Applicants should begin collecting documents, which can be used to prove identity, residency, and work-related eligibility once the application opens this summer. To find out more information about the grant and your eligibility, click here.
