Unemployment-Frequently asked questions about the COVID-19 Coronavirus and Wisconsin Unemployment Benefits 
https://dwd.wisconsin.gov/covid19/public/ui.htm


From Wisoncin Unemplayment Page:
If you are unemployed and you've worked for a covered employer (an employer who pays UI tax) in the last 18 months - please apply for unemployment insurance now at https://dwd.wisconsin.gov/uiben/apply. If you are filing because of the CARES Act (Federal Stimulus Bill) - e.g. self-employed, independent contractors, workers with limited work history, and others we are asking you to wait to file* because our system is not yet set up to accept your application. We are waiting on additional guidance from USDOL. We expect those changes to be complete by mid-to late-April. We understand how important it is to get these payments to you as quickly as possible, and we are doing everything we can to get you the help you need. There is no need to call the Unemployment Insurance Call Center at this time. The department will announce when you are able to start filing your initial claim. We will have the most up-to-date information at https://dwd.wisconsin.gov/uiben/caresact. *It is important to note that benefits will start from the time you became eligible for unemployment, not from the time your application is submitted or approved. This is also true of the additional $600 per week.

Contacting Unemployment DWD is experiencing an unprecedented call volume to our unemployment insurance and IT help lines. Unless you have received official notification from Unemployment Insurance that you must call our call center, please search for your answer at dwd.wi.gov/covid19/ or dwd.wi.gov/uiben/faqs in order to free up phone lines for folks who are required to call in.​

Over 215,000 Wisconsin Households to Receive Additional FoodShare Benefits in Response to COVID-19 Pandemic.  click here to read more
Emergency Food Assistance Program
​
More Wisconsin Residents Can Now Qualify for Food Assistance Income threshold raised for emergency food pantry program during the COVID-19 Pandemic
​
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) announced today more households will now be able to get food through the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP).
Households with incomes below 300% of the federal poverty level (FPL) are now eligible to receive a monthly share of locally grown, Grade-A foods that include meat, vegetables, fruit, juice, and more from a TEFAP food pantry. For a household of one, that income threshold is $38,280. The larger the household, the higher the income threshold. Previously TEFAP’s qualifying income threshold was 185% FPL, or $23,606 for a household of one.
“Good nutrition is foundational, and we want to help ensure families in need of assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic have access,” said DHS Secretary-designee Andrea Palm. “By increasing the income limit for TEFAP, more Wisconsinites can receive or supplement their food supplies without risk of losing the benefits they receive from other programs.”

Picture
The Department of Workforce Development (DWD) is encouraging Wisconsin employers to consider Wisconsin's updated Work-Share Program to avoid worker layoffs.
The Work-Share Program, also called "short-term compensation" (STC), is designed to help both employers and employees. Instead of laying off workers, a participating employer may reduce their work hours. Workers whose hours are reduced under an approved work-share plan receive unemployment benefits that are pro-rated for the partial work reduction. This allows everyone in the work unit to maintain some income and their health benefits.

For more information on the Work-Share Program and how to apply, please visit https://dwd.wisconsin.gov/uitax/workshare.htm.
