These supportive services may include, but are not limited to, <br />equipment necessary to telework (e.g. computer, internet, etc.), housing assistance, utility <br />assistance, childcare assistance, and transportation assistance. <br />Supportive services are available in two tiers: <br />1. Individuals receiving at least 50% of their previous wages either from their employer <br />directly, or with Unemployment Insurance (UI) payments, may receive supportive <br />services totaling $400. <br />2. Individuals who are not receiving at least 50% of their wages from their employer <br />directly, or with UI payments, may receive supportive services totaling $800. <br />If Local Workforce Development Areas (Local Area) use other funds such as existing WIOA Adult <br />or Dislocated Worker formula funds, or local funds to provide supportive services, then those <br />funds do not count towards the $800 limit. <br />The EDD will request additional funding for this effort, if needed, but currently has $10 million <br />available statewide to Local Areas to provide supportive services. Local Areas interested in <br />receiving funds for this effort must email their request with the number of participants <br />expected to be served, and the requested amount of funds to Nicole Laktash by 5 p.m. on <br />Monday, April 6, 2020. <br />Any questions related to this information should be directed to Nicole Laktash via email at <br />Nicole.Laktash@edd.ca.gov or phone at 1-916-208-4431. <br />/s/ JAIME L.
