Disaster Unemployment Assistance For Flood Victims

Those who have become unemployed because of the storms will be able to apply for Disaster Unemployment Assistance. President Bush declared Baxter, Benton, Independence, Jackson, Lawrence, Logan, Madison, Marion, Randolph, Stone and Woodruff counties as federal disaster areas. Residents in these counties are eligible for assistance, but they must have worked or have been scheduled to work in the disaster area.
