DES MOINES – As a result of President Trump’s Presidential Major Disaster Declaration for public and individual assistance for residents of Fremont, Harrison, Mills, Monona and Woodbury counties in Iowa, disaster unemployment assistance (DUA) is now available in those counties. DUA expands eligibility for unemployment benefits and provides assistance to the self-employed including business owners and farmers.

Iowa Workforce Development will hold public events to assist individuals in filing the claims and those dates and locations will be announced shortly.  More information is available at  https://www.iowaworkforcedevelopment.gov/, or contact us at 1-866-239-0843 for assistance.  The website will be updated as new information becomes available.
