The Virginia Employment Commission (VEC) administers the unemployment compensation program for the Commonwealth. This includes the now expired pandemic enhanced unemployment benefits, for which all current and retroactive payments have now been issued, other than those under appeal or litigation.
Fortunately, the lessons learned from and system upgrades as a result of the pandemic mean the VEC now has better systems and process to take, pay and monitor unemployment benefits. See the sections below for current and past unemployment programs in the states, including some FAQs and following comments forum.

How Much Unemployment Can I Get Paid In Virginia?
With the expiry the pandemic unemployment programs, only traditional/regular state unemployment is available for full or partial unemployment claims. The table below provides key details on the latest unemployment benefits and qualifying wage requirements.
You will need to submit a claim or certify your application via the state’s unemployment website (see section below on filing a claim) to get your actual weekly benefit amount.
Note that to qualify for unemployment, your job or hours worked loss will generally need to be involuntary. I.e. through no fault of your own or via directly quitting. Your job and wages must also have been paid/covered by an employer or source that deducted unemployment insurance taxes per state law (see your paycheck).
Further if you are being paid severance via a layoff or able to use sick leave or paid vacation, you cannot claim unemployment.
You will also need to certify for benefits at weekly intervals, demonstrate ongoing work availability and evidence of job search requirements to keep getting weekly unemployment benefits.
| Weekly Unemployment Available with Dependents (Min – Max) | $60 – $378 |
| Benefit Duration | 12 to 26 weeks, in addition to first week waiting period where no benefits are paid |
| Minimum Qualifying Income over Base Period | Earned greater than $3,000 in two quarters in the base period. To get maximum benefit amount, must have earned over $18,900 in same period |
| Part-Time Income or Workers – UI benefits impact | If weekly gross income is less than WBSA, that gross income less $50 will be deducted from your weekly benefit amount. If weekly earnings > WBA, no benefits will be paid. |
Why is my weekly benefit payment lower than the maximum amount?
Your actual weekly benefit amount (WBA) is the amount of money your state agency has determined you and your dependents may receive for regular unemployment insurance after filing a claim. This can change weekly based on your certification or claim for benefits.
Your actual WBA is based on the amount that you earned over the states pre-defined base or alternate wage period, which are generally based on four out of the last five completed calendar quarters spanning 12 to 18 months.
The higher your earnings, the higher your approved WBA will be, up to the maximum amount allowed in the state. All earnings must be subject to UI tax (covered employment) to be eligible for factoring into your benefit determination.
Any part time or temporary earnings from employment or other activities during eligible weeks you are claiming and certifying for benefits, will potentially reduce the amount of benefits you may get.
Also note that that your state UI agency may deduct overpayments and court-ordered child support from your weekly payment. This will reduce your WBA.
What if I worked or lived in another state?
If you worked or lived in another state during the base year, you should file your unemployment benefits claim in the state you worked in and where your wages were reported. Not where you reside at the time of claim. You can file a claim in multiple states.
Your claim will be paid and governed by laws of that state in which you applied for. You will need to report this on your state and federal income taxes per form 1099-G issued by the state’s UI agency.
Claimants will also need to apply or reapply for UI benefits when they reach the end of their benefit year.

End of Federal Enhanced Benefits in Virginia (PUA, PEUC, $300 FPUC and $100 MEUC)
The VEC has confirmed that claimants on the PEUC, PUA, MEUC and FPUC programs will file/certify for benefits for the last time covering the week ending September 4, 2021. Since the beginning of these programs, the VEC has issued over $14 Billion in benefits.
Any active claims, with or without remaining balances, will expire after this date and any weeks after Sep 5th will NOT be paid. The only exception are retroactive payments for validated claims after a successful determination or appeal.
While there has been a lot of discussion around extending pandemic unemployment benefits, the Biden administration has confirmed (see video) that states will have to use already allocated stimulus funding to expand or extend traditional state unemployment programs. The VEC has not indicated that is planning to do so at this stage, but I will post updates if things change.
Some claimants may be eligible for State Extended Benefits (SEB), but after September 4th all claimants must have a regular UI claim to continue receiving benefits. Also see the VEC website for other support and benefit programs.
Work Search Requirements Causing Benefit Payment Issues
Over the last few months many claimants have reported that their UI benefits have stopped, particularly since the VEC reinstated work search requirements, which their antiquated systems have struggled to process (especially for PUA claims). This is despite eligible claimants applying for jobs and reporting this on their weekly claims. The Benefit Year End Date (BYE), discussed in earlier updates below, does not seem to be the cause of the issue in most cases.
Governor Northam had asked claimants to be patient, despite Virginia being ranked among the worst states in paying claims, but this is not of much help to the many jobless workers who rely on federal and state unemployment benefits to pay for essentials and make ends meet.
Coupled with ongoing fraudulent claims many claimants have been caught in a web of automated call systems and process bureaucracy as their claims go unpaid. Getting hold of a live VEC agent has also been a challenge with many reporting hours of hold times and/or getting an untrained/new agent who is not able to help them (see some VEC contact options)
While the VEC, in a recent court hearing, said it had made significant progress in resolving thousands of unpaid and retroactive claims, it is estimated over 50,000 claims are still pending for review. Because a lot of these claims have to be checked manually so it could unfortunately take several months for eligible claimants to get paid – which the VEC has to legally to so. I will post updates as I get them and check the comments forum below for more information.
Reminder for Work Search requirements (Required for claims to be paid)
You must register online to get paid or at a workforce services agency if you live outside Virginia. Beginning the week of May 30th, you must actively make at least two job contacts each week and report the details online or over the phone: For regular UI claimants, online at www.getgov2go.com or over the phone at 800-897-5630; For PUA claimants, you must call 866-832-2363 and follow the prompts to file your weekly claim
Is Virginia Ending ALL Pandemic Unemployment Benefits Early – Including $300 Supplementary Weekly Benefit
Following recent job reports and state wide labor shortages, many states have announced an end to participation in one or more federally funded pandemic unemployment programs in the coming weeks. This covers the termination of PUA, PEUC, $300 FPUC and $100 MEUC programs extended under the Biden ARPA stimulus bill discussed below.
The argument is that these generous unemployment benefits deter lower income workers (who make less than $15 p/hour) from returning to work. Opponents argue that the reason people are not going back to work is due to fears around getting COVID, child care and schooling constraints.
At this stage the VEC has not received any instructions from the Governor to end the unemployment programs early, but given the worker shortage in the state there will likely be a lot of pressure from businesses to end these programs earlier than planned, as was the case in neighboring Maryland. I’ll update as more information comes to hand.
Biden Stimulus Bill Extensions
Under President Biden’s $1.9 trillion federal coronavirus relief package, known as the American Rescue Plan (ARP), enhanced unemployment benefits have been extended until September 6th (week ending September 4th in Virginia). This includes further extensions to the PUA program, PEUC program, $300 weekly payment under the FPUC program and $100 Mixed Earners (MEUC) program.
There were also provisions in the Biden Stimulus package for Unemployment tax breaks on the first $10,200 of benefits received in 2020.
VA VEC Latest News and Status on PUA, PEUC and $300 Weekly Payment or Claim Issues and System Updates
The VEC has provided the following updates for claimants around the extended coverage period funded under the Biden ARP stimulus bill:
- You do not need to reapply for the extended benefit weeks. The VEC will automatically enroll you in the appropriate program extension (PUA or PEUC).
- However, if you are notified that your benefit year (BYE) has ended you must file a new traditional claim (UI) to establish a new benefit year.
- You should continue to file your weekly claim for benefits as you normally would as long as you remain unemployed.
- You will not need to contact the VEC in order for these program extensions to take effect. The VEC will mail you a Monetary determination that reflects the increase in eligibility.
- The additional weekly payment of $300 under the FPUC program will be extended through September 4, 2021 as well.
- The Mixed Earner Unemployment Compensation (MEUC) program which provides $100 extra per week to non PUA recipients who have had mixed income (W2 and 1099) will be available from April 26, 2021.
There are however some known issues many claimants are reporting per the comments forum below this article. This includes:
- PUA payment delays due to additional documentation requirements per updated DOL guidelines or proof of ongoing job searches as part of reinstatement of the weekly work search requirement.
- Its still hard to get through to someone at the VEC for those whose benefits have lapsed. Keep trying as in some instances you will need a VEC rep to manually progress your claim or to provide additional information to verify your claim.
- Certifying over the app has caused some issues in which case calling to certify (1 866 832-2363) has provided a workaround.
- Many are reporting scam emails to potential claimants asking for personal and private data. Do not share this online or to people you don’t know. Only go to the VEC site to load documents and provide required certifications. If an email address doesn’t end in vec.virginia.gov, it’s not a real VEC address!
- While the PUA and PEUC extensions are now available till Sep 4th, many people are reporting a lapse in benefits, which is mainly due to the need to provide additional documentation (PUA claimants) or not filing a new claim after you have reached your benefit year end.
- Some people who returned to work and stopped claiming benefits, but are now unemployed again are having a tough time reinstating claim due to manual checks the VEC has to do, which is taking more time than expected. Retroactive payments will be made for eligible weeks but this is a known issue.
I will post ongoing updates as they are released so stay tuned via the options below.
2021 Unemployment Program Extensions Under COVID Relief Bill
The $900 billion COVID-19 relief package was passed into law on Dec. 27, 2020, which among several other pandemic relief measures extends and provides additional federal funding for enhanced unemployment benefits. This includes the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA), Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) and a reinstatement, but halving of the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) Program which provides a $300 supplemental weekly unemployment payment.
These programs have been funded and extended for 11 weeks, covering the weeks of December 27th, 2020 to March 14th, 2021. PEUC and PUA programs have a phase out period where existing claimants with remaining weeks/balances can file for benefits until the week ending April 10th, 2021. The first week people would be eligible for these payments under the extended coverage period would be the week ending January 2nd, 2021. You can see a summary of the latest VA VEC payment dates in this video and in the commentary below. Also scroll to the end of the article where some helpful readers have provided comments on working through challenges with unemployment claims and getting through to the VEC and talking to a live agent.
2021 PEUC and PUA programs extension – Reinstatement and Reapplying for benefits
Get your biggest tax refund, guaranteed. Get started today.
(Feb 17th, 2021 update) The PUA program eleven-week extension is now showing up for most claimants in line with the VEC update below. As a result existing claimants can certify and should start getting payments, including retroactive payments, in early February. New PUA applications are also being accepted. For those who have yet to receive their payment it is like due to some issues with your claim that may need manual processing (e.g. flagged for fraud or additional wage evidence), which the VEC is working through and sending notices to impacted claimants.
The PEUC program 11-week updates have now been rolled out for those who exhausted their benefits and for new claimants. If you have exhausted the original 13 weeks of benefits under the PEUC program you can then be considered for an additional 11 weeks of extended benefits under the CAA COVID relief bill. After several weeks of delay the VEC finally announced the rollout of the extended PEUC weeks (PEUC 2.0) in two different stages based on claimant group as follows:
Group I – PEUC claimants who have exhausted their initial 13-week benefit and have claimed weeks through 12/26/20 will have the additional 11 weeks automatically added to their claim and should not file a new claim. They should continue filing weekly claims. Payment for weeks claimed beginning with the week ending 01/02/21 will be automatically released from 02/09/21 and customers should receive money (including retroactive payments as well hopefully) as early as Thursday 2/11/21.
Group II – PEUC claimants who are not able to file a weekly claim must file a new PEUC 2021 claim. The application is not available via going to getgov2go.com. New claimants can create an account online or by calling 1-866-832-2363. Those who file a new claim can start claiming weeks for payment once their application has been processed, usually in 1-2 business days. The extra $300 FPUC weekly payment will be also be paid for the 11-weeks of extra PEUC.

(PEUC claimants with remaining original balances) If you did not exhaust your 13 weeks of PEUC prior to December 27th, 2020 you will be allowed to claim additional weeks. VEC has updated their UI benefit systems to allow for these changes. Individuals in this category should now be able to claim the remaining weeks beginning with the benefit week ending January 2nd, 2020. Payments, including retroactive payments, will be made shortly after that.
(PUA claimants with remaining balances) If you did not exhaust your 39 weeks of PUA you can now claim the additional weeks.
Getting the $300 Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) in Virginia
The program will add an additional $300 each week that you receive benefits under the following programs: regular Unemployment Insurance (UI), State Extended Benefits (EB), Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) and Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC). This additional benefit will be added to and retroactive to the week ending January 2, 2021. FPUC will be payable as long as you are eligible through benefit week ending March 14, 2021. This is NOW available to all people who can claim benefits, which are subject to the PUA and PEUC dates noted above.
Final guidelines on these programs and final eligibility (including additional document verification procedures to combat Fraud) have been issued by the Department of Labor and the VEC is rolling out these changes (see latest VEC update)
Claimants with existing or expired claim balances should be aware of the following general guidelines:
- PUA and PEUC, FPUC will be automatically added to the claimants’ benefits if they are eligible for the weeks outlined in the new legislation.
- Claimants with weeks remaining in UI should continue to file weekly claims
- Claimants who will have additional weeks in UI and PUA or PEUC due to state provisions (where applicable) should watch their state agency UI portal or website for updates that will allow additional weeks to be filed (see potential scenarios where you need to take action to get benefits under the new extension)
- Claimants will be retroactively caught up on payments for all weeks they are eligible.
I will post additional updates as they are released by the VEC in coming days
Backlog of UI payments continue to be processed
After being threatened with a lawsuit, the VEC decided to pay unemployment benefits (from 12/10) to thousands of Virginians whose claims had previously been on hold because they were “awaiting a staff review.” State officials decided to go ahead and proactively pay the applicants while their claims make their way through the determination process.
But if the determination process finds the recipients were not due the money, they will have to pay it back, possibly along with interest and fees. So ensure your application is valid and you are eligible for program benefits.
Lost Wages Assistance (LWA) in Virginia – Payments now processing and being paid
The VEC has processed and made all weekly payments under the Lost Wages Assistance program (LWA). That started processing payments around October 16th and payments started hitting people’s bank accounts or debit cards from October 19th.
Amounts to qualified applicants were paid retroactively to August 1 for 6 weeks (up to $1800 in total if you qualified for all 6 weeks). Several readers have acknowledged the lack of information and delayed payment relative to other states as you can see in the comments below. The original payment date was Sep 30, but got changed several times by the VEC due to ongoing system programming issues. This is much later than other states. I will continue to post updates if new information comes to hand. See further details in the section below including a link to the VA LWA page.
Update from Bill on VEC issues – “So thanks to the assistance of all those on this site I was able to call the VEC [on October 13th] and actually speak to someone regarding the $300. If you are on UI, PEUC, or anything but PUA you will have to call or self certify for LWA to receive the extra $300 retro pay. Also I was told that the payments will start being processed on the 15th of October and the money will hit accounts Thursday the 15th, Friday the 16th or Monday the 19th just depending on your institution or payment method. October 15th is the processing date. So I was told not to panic if the money is not in on the 15th. I hope this helps y’all Virginians.”
COVID 19 Enhanced (CARES Act) Benefits in Virginia
Under the CARES act, there are three types of federal unemployment assistance available:
• Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA): expands eligibility for traditionally ineligible individuals for unemployment benefits, including independent contractors and self-employed individuals. Recipients may receive up to 39 weeks of benefit payments under this program.
• Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC): adds $600 per week and the regular benefits that recipients of Unemployment Insurance are entitled to receive; the benefit is retroactive to the week beginning March 29, 2020, and the program expired on July 31, 2020.
• Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC): provides an additional 13 weeks of Unemployment benefits to regular unemployment insurance recipients.
If you have exhausted benefits paid through the regular unemployment and PEUC program, you may be entitled to receive up to 50% of the total amount received on your regular unemployment benefits through the Extended Benefit (EB) program. This program covers an additional 6 to 13 weeks of unemployment benefits, depending upon the number of weeks you were eligible for benefits on your original unemployment insurance claim.
VA Lost Wages Assistance (LWA) Payment Details and Schedule
In addition to the above enhanced benefits, you may be eligible for Lost Wage Assistance (LWA) if you are out of work due to COVID-19. If your weekly benefit payment is at least $100, and you were eligible for unemployment benefits, you may receive an additional $300 in assistance retroactive through weeks ending August 1, 2020 to September 5th, 2020. You do not need to file a separate request/application for LWA; however, you may need to self-certify to confirm that you are unemployed or partially unemployed because of COVID-19.
Applicants only need to self-certify that they are unemployed/partially unemployed due to disruptions caused by COVID-19. If they don’t self-certify by 10/15/20 they may not be eligible to receive any of the $300 due to FEMA funding limitations. See more details on the VA LWA page.
Because of VEC programming/IT issues, the LWA payment will be made after October 15th, well after the funding approval from FEMA (Sep 12th). So most likely the payment to VA residents eligible for this payment will be for the full amount they are eligible for (up to $1800) during the covered period.
Initial Claims: If this is the first time that you are filing an unemployment claim under any of the federal or state programs available, you must first file an initial unemployment insurance claim to determine your eligibility and which programs may apply to you.
If you are eligible for regular unemployment benefits, you will receive a Monetary Determination Letter and PIN, typically within 7 to 10 business days of filing your initial claim. Your Monetary Determination letter lets you know what financial benefits you may possibly be eligible for; however, this may change based on the weekly claims you submit (addressed under Existing Claimants below).
If you receive a Monetary Determination letter stating that you are ineligible for regular unemployment benefits, you will then be directed via a phone call or text message to apply for PUA here.
Existing Claimants: Claimants receiving unemployment benefits due to the coronavirus pandemic must continue to certify every week to receive unemployment benefits under any state or federal program. This includes the additional FPUC $600/week benefit and the PUA program.
The extra $600/week compensation is retroactive to the week beginning on March 29 and ends on July 31. FPUC payments are automatically added to the weekly benefit payment.
Upon exhausting regular unemployment benefits, you must file a separate application to receive PEUC benefits.
Claimants that have exhausted both regular unemployment and PEUC benefits may be eligible for an additional 6 to 13 weeks of unemployment benefits under the Extended Benefits program. A separate application is required.
Filing an Initial Claim (Post-Pandemic)
You must file your initial unemployment claim through the VEC Virginia Workforce Development online or via their call center. You will need the following information to file your first claim.
- Social Security Number
- Personal mailing address and contact information
- Employment history for the past 18 months, including:
- Employers’ business names
- The physical address for each employer
- Telephone number
- First and the last date that you worked for each employer
- The reason you are no longer employed
- Alien Registration number and the date your work authorization expires if you are not a US citizen
- The name and local number of the union hall (if you obtain work through a union)
To be eligible for Unemployment Insurance benefits in Virginia, you must meet the following eligibility requirements during the pandemic:
- Unemployed or had a reduction in hours due to no fault of your own
- Earned enough wages to be eligible for unemployment benefits
Filing Weekly Claims
You must file a weekly claim to prove that you are still eligible and qualify for unemployment benefits. Your weekly claim cannot be filed until the end of the workweek, which is Saturday at midnight. You have up to 28 days after the end of each week that you are unemployed to file this weekly claim. Weekly claims can be filed online or over the phone.
If you don’t file your weekly claim within the required time, you will not be paid unemployment benefits for this week. You must call the VEC for assistance.
Existing claimants that are eligible for regular unemployment log in here to file their weekly claims.
To find out your claim’s status, call the Voice Response System at 800-897-5630, and choose “Claims and Benefits.”
If there is a problem with your claim that must be resolved before benefits can be paid or you have appealed a denial in benefits, you must still file a weekly claim online or over the phone. If it is determined that you are eligible or if you win your appeal, you will be paid these benefits retroactively. However, if you win the appeal but have not claimed benefits, you will not be paid for these weeks.
I filed my unemployment claim several weeks ago. Will I receive back pay once my claim is approved?
Over the past few months, the VEC has improved its telephone response and claim processing time. However, the large volume of unemployment claims will result in continued delays. If you are eligible to receive benefits but have not heard anything back yet, you will receive retroactive benefit payments up to the date that you were determined eligible as long as you filed your claims each week.
This also applies to the FPUC $600 per week additional benefit, which expired on July 31. If you have filed an unemployment claim before that date and are still awaiting a response regarding your eligibility for unemployment, you will receive retroactive payments for the back weeks of FPUC. This is the case even if the decision is not made until after the July 31 expiration date.
If you are not eligible for regular unemployment, you may collect benefits under the PUA program. To determine eligibility, you must file a new unemployment insurance claim if you have not already done so. Once your eligibility is determined, you may complete a separate PUA application. You should continue to file weekly certifications during this process. If you are eligible for PUA benefits for weeks that have already passed, you may recover back pay if you submitted weekly certifications.
Can I still collect unemployment benefits if my hours have been reduced?
Individuals who work reduced hours may still be eligible to collect partial unemployment benefits if your gross earnings are less than the weekly benefit amount. You must continue to file your weekly certification and report any of your wages in the week they were earned, not received. Wages earned may reduce your unemployment benefit.
See additional FAQ from the Virginia Employment Commission about unemployment benefits.

Yes, the deposit should be sent to your debit card. I believe the VEC said it may take a little longer to process then if it were going to a bank account.
I really wish someone would respond if the money will be going on our Way2Go cards or not. I keep seeing people say that their bank says they have a pending payment, but I don’t have a bank account.
Yes. The way 2 go cards will get it tuesday, october 20, 2020.

im om chime i didnt get anything, an ive been on pua ssince march!
I just received my email today at 1:09pm saying the LWA payments started process today, the 16th, a complete contradiction to what they said yesterday, that they started on the 15th. It says allow 3 business days, which would be next Wednesday, if it does not show before I contract VEC. So basically, if I don’t have it by the 22nd, then call them. This is totally uncalled for!
Yea i was saying the same thing how many days it have to be process smdh this crazy vec need to really get together seriously
Has anyone received the payment or at least show it pending?
nope
Naw smdh
What bank do you use? I use FLFCU. I know deposit times vary by banking institution.
Thats a credit union right? So you have ur deposit, @Jenn M.?
Yea got chime and usually get my money on tuesday and i didnt get my regular unemployment till wed so i should see it later on tonight or Monday who knows they selling so many dreams
Yeah…I’ve got Ace and usually file Sunday and get Tuesday…but I don’t even have a pending transaction listed yet…and it’s 6pm on a Friday.
No not yet. I don’t even see anything pending yet. I was asking when other people get their regular UI payments to base that off when I should see my LWA. For example, I get my UI payments on Wednesday. However, some people get their regular UI payments on Tuesdays. So if someone from that group received their LWA today, I assume mine should come Monday. I wish there was a more definitive answer on when we will receive the money. I was counting on that money and I don’t like the uncertainties regarding this entire process.
No, not yet. It appears they won’t be adding the extra $100 despite the fact they have half of a billion from the previous Care’s Act. Wondering where that money is going.
My home boy banks with SunTrust and he got his money lastnite no lie at 12 am unfortunately I have a unemployment debt card and we ant heard nothin but I have filled my claim on a Thursday B4 and I get my money on mon at 12am
Nope
Good morning,
FYI
I received an email message at 12:42 pm, from Gov2Go stating, “VEC is beginning to process LWA payments today and those who are eligible can expect to see them deposited within the next 1-3 business days.”
Just in case you were not aware of the latest update.
Yep, I got that same one. What gets me is that they sent it out on a Friday, 10/16/2020. They should have sent it after the holiday on TUESDAY and the accdent that happened!! Also, even tho i did what i thought i should have done, there’s still no way to tell what you are getting…you just have to wait till it shows up. No ” you have succesfully applied. You will be getting $$$ as soon as it is released” All anyone got, from what i understand was a confirmation number. and a wait game.
Joyce Fogg, the communications manager for VEC, said they are processing $481-million for around 389,000 people and the time of receipt would depend on where it is being sent.
“$481 million that has to be processed by the banks, and posted into the individual accounts at the banks. And then some people get theirs by debit card. So, we have a third party vendor that those funds are released to and they place those on debit cards and that usually takes a little bit longer than the bank processing,” said Fogg. “But, they should expect their payments to be there. Some will probably receive them tomorrow [Oct 16] morning and then it may take two to three days for the others.”
Fogg said VEC was trying to process the payments earlier but that plan was delayed by a federal holiday and construction outages at Richmond office.
Hope this info helps others.
Did anyone started receiving the additional 3 week benefit? I received some amount but not the full amount. Is this how it is supposed to be? So many mystery going on. I did self certify. I have the confirmation number. I am on regular UI. VEC should have told us everything instead of guessing on what is going on.
How did you self certify on regular UI? I called the 866 number and they told me to go through gov2go, which told me i was ineligible.
Good morning and thank you for the update. I received an email yesterday that due to the bank holiday on Monday and an apparent fiber optic cable being accidentally cut in the Richmond area on Tuesday, the payments are now delayed up to an additional 2 days.
Who was the email sent from and how are you getting emails about it?
The email was sent from VEC/GOVE2GO. I got the same one.
Hmm Interesting. I wonder why I didn’t receive any emails. I did receive this weeks regular pay though and was confirmed for LWA on 9/30.
Anybody got any of the lwa yet
No payments reported yet. But if processing started today (10/15) as confirmed by the VEC, people should start seeing payments in bank accounts over the next 1 to 3 business days.
Hopefully
The longer they hold the money more interest they make figure how much money a day interest they make 18 days holding that kind money when we really need it always a excuse they say they hired 400 more ppl will in 8 to 10 hours slot of us could have the money but it’s always something but not owe them they take everything u got but they can hold our money and make excuses Long as they want
I called because an they said I had six 300 dollars payments I was approved for on Thursday morning an to give it 24 to 48 hours is what she told me. That was Friday. I called my bank and they have no post pending how can that be.
Naw smh
How did u find out u got lwu
Yes SunTrust bank deposit to there people lastnite at 12am
Did anyone receive the lwa lump sum
Nope
still waiting…even checked account to see if i had pending….
All this really just pisses me off, cuz it has you second guessing yourself because there is no way to know if all is well, if you need to do anything else, if you forgot one thing…none of that…and the wait time for phone calls is truly RI-dick-u-lus!!!u truly wont know until you either get or dont get the money..and then you dont know if its too late to try to get it….
I have been partially unemployed since July 1,2020 because of the restaurant that I work for can’t fully reopen until at this point.VEC representative promised me in August that someone will call me but no one ever did. I have been calling the agency again but no luck.So I missed a lot of weekly payments including FPUC and now I am about to miss the LWA payments also.Will I get paid retroactively once someone will finally ever start working on my claims?
Same here. Unemployed since Feb 1st and no cares act money, no LWA, only 158 a week. WTH am I suppose too do with that?. I have called, emailed, chatted… And just today I found I was approved for 2 weeks of the 300 that was suppose to be coming in 6 week lot… After chatting with a agent. Still. 600.00 Will bring my back acct. to 0.00.. so thanks VEC FOR NOTHING. SERIOUSLY!
I called VEC an a lady said I had been approved for six $300 dollar payments on Thursday morning and to give it forty eight hours but called on Saturday to my bank an they said I had nothing pending. How can that be.
This state is the worst ive never seen anything like this we actually have to wait more time for our money??
Stop complaining you ungrateful person. This is free money and you have done nothing to earn/deserve it (unlike like regular UI where you pay taxes). I get people are impacted by COVID through no fault of their own but don’t expect government agencies to suddenly get efficient with millions relying on handouts (the same people who think politicians will save them). Instead hustle and find ways to make money. Virginia still has low unemployment relative to other states and there are many new online jobs available. You need to change your perspective and change with the the times instead of complaining about delayed handouts from government agencies. I guarantee they won’t allow you to pay your taxes late (your $300 LWA is taxable buddy)!
LOL get off your high horse!! SMDH
Something funny?
Actually I was ON YOUR SIDE! My comment was to the other guy but OKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so YEAH it was funny to me that he had the nerve to post something like that
I do apologize seriously forgive me
Ungrateful? U know nothing of me. Who ever u are it easy for u too say this too me on here huh ..lol im always available Mr jeffery. Before u say something make sure u understand why we all are upset at this slave driven state… I have kids like others that need me more than ever my hustle is always on point but if the state suck thats jus what it is you have anything to say to personally and not over the web call me at 8045372205 and we can go from there if not say nothing to me about how i feel and many others ..
I agree with you Joel!
Ty tammy they switch the date 3 times! 20, 30, 15
Can I call you?
Ive never relied on this weak as government ..u are programmed like many others that walk this earth ..ur knowledge is minimized..u only know what they programmed u to know so before u say anything understand things first before coming for my head..with that being said dont post nothing towards me on what i deserve they owe the people much more than what they giving..
Jeffery B: I agree with your comments except: EMPLOYEES do not pay into the unemployment system at all–it is 100% funded by EMPLOYERS based on their experience rating.
Jeffrey don’t be so hateful ok we deserve that mny now cause its ours not there’s ok that’s all bru we all in the same boat
When I received a text message like last month about applying for the LWA funds I completed or at least thought I completed an application for it. It showed on my timeline on gov2go that it was completed. When I went back to my timeline this morning it showed me that it’s past due so through email I spoke to a gov2go representative and they said as long as I received a confirmation number I was all set and that it wouldn’t let me submit it twice. So I went to the application and answered the questions and it gave me a confirmation number today. So what I am worried about is whether or not I will be receiving these LWA funds at all. They said that I would have to talk to VEC for further information about that and when I did speak to someone from VEC, (who by the way was less than enthused to speak to me) told me that the only thing she could see is whether or not my application is submitted not the date that it was submitted or any approvals. So in their system it’s showing that my application was submitted but I’m afraid that it’s a late submission, so needless to say I feel sick right now. Does anyone have any insight to this situation? And I don’t understand why it would have told me completed and then a month later say past due. It also told me that my extended benefits application was completed the same time I applied for the LWA funds. The extended benefits were approved. I do qualify for the weeks the LWA funds are covering. I’m just afraid I got screwed on this application process. Please help!!
I do think you are fine as long as you have a Conf#. The Gov2go site has had many glitches so sometimes things appear red even if before they were green and showed you completed the step. Also it seems to me that the VEC and Gov2go really don’t communicate with each other well. Many times they provide conflicting information which only adds to the confusion and stress. For example Gov2go sent a message stating that one of the reasons payments may be delayed is because of the power outages. However the VEC had posted a tweet that said the power outages had not affected their work.
I appreciate you responding to my questions. I was fortunate enough to talk to somebody at my local unemployment office this morning. She pretty much said the same thing you did so that is a relief. You are right about the lack of communication between gov2go and VEC. She informed me that they don’t communicate. She told me not to worry and to stay off the Internet. Lol
Hello, Erin…and Andy….thanks for this connection for us all!
Erin, I’m Kim…and i tell you, i started getting text messages from VEC i freaked…general messages, no detail in what ur sposed to do and no one to talk to. and then when you do get someone!!!! I got a lady in Chesapeake, working from home(of course!) I asked all kinds of questions…and she said “Ms Armstrong, you have to read the entire texts, it does take comprehension”… :( are you calling me STUPID?!?! oh, i was LIVID!! still am…. anyway, i said that to say this…we are all in need, and we feel your pain, but don’t stress…don’t overthink, you did the right thing, and you finally got thru to a voice…which is really what all of us want to hear. VEC is/was very laxed on their communication, customer service, transparency and fluidity in their actions and end results. While we are all working people, which is why we are eligible for UB (this for the dude that said we are wanting handouts–kick rocks!) I found out about Gov2go and applied (overapplied!) for everything! Do not take what you did to heart, I know we need this money, and its coming, but have more faith in yourself and your mind and mentality. Its coming…and when you get it…give us a shout back…lol!! i’m sure we all will be shouting!
To end this comment, I would like to give my work cell out. I am an Area Manager for Jackson Hewitt out of the Portsmouth Area. We need to hire 30-35 people to start Dec. 2oth for the upcoming tax year. This year has been debilitating to us all, and we want to help our community in the way that we can. call me…lets figure some things out…757-535-6398
You’re situation sounds exactly like mine. So today I called 1 (866) 832-2363, and it said it has a new option so you can check the status of your claim. When I checked my status, it said your check of ……. was processed on ……… Please call back during regular business hours. The parts were I just put dots were cuz nothing was said. So I have to wait til Monday to find out if I’m getting anything at all.
When you did your application you should have gotten a confirmation number and then it would have told you to do a one time attestation. Once thats done or been done you should be good…or easy enough to fond in the system. Im still waiting. No email. Nothing pending. Nada. They said call after the 3 days but ill be online at 8am on Monday!
I’m at the point where I’m just trusting God will take care of it. I want my money just as much as everyone else, but it is what it is. I hope your money come through on Monday too.
Did any one receive the back pay on the 15th? Because I didn’t. And I qualified.
It is October 15 and when I checked at the bank for my Lost Wage payment, nothing. Zip, nada. WTH?
where is the money?
Per article … payments will start being processed on the 15th of October and the money will likely hit accounts 1-3 days after October 15th depending on your institution or payment method. October 15th is the processing start date
Andy…this has been a help to a lot of people…i know, im one!…if this is the right Andy…lol!! Thank you so much for this communication board!…If you are not the one responsible..do me a favor and pay it forward…
Same I’m wondering if it didn’t drop for any one.
Yes if you bank with SunTrust you got it at 12am
My UI claim exhausted Aug 26. I filed for extension but I havent heard back anything from VEC started the gov2go account and did everything on there it asked me to and told me i was eligible for 158 welly but if i wanted to receive more, up to 378 the. I had to submit my w-2.. i did this also.. I still am not receiving any unemployment, I dont know what to do and I SHOULD be qualified for the first 4 weeks of LWA since I was receiving my benefits then but I can never get a person on the line. It’s been 5 weeks now since I have gotten anything. I have been told my application was received but couldnt be given a time frame for when it would be processed. My kids and I are running out of money and options and I cant seem to get any answers from VEC. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions. I’m really really worried.
So its Oct. 15th Virginia. I’m on PEUC and certified through Gov2Go for the LWA program….NOTHING IN MY ACCOUNT THIS MORNING. I wonder if they realize most people have more that 1800 in bills and late fees at this point? Waiting what has already been 2 months and seems like will be delayed AGAIN for what? Programming? You mean to tell me everyone on VECs tech team can’t get a payment system programmed IN TWO MONTHS?!?!
Today is oct 15th so they are on time just the payment is processing now IF you’re even eligible stop complaining sheesh
Delayed Again!!!!! Smh…. Im giving up on this shit just glad to have got my regular funds.. VA need to do better. I guess we will wait til end of week to at least get a statement of whats going on with VEC.
I fill out everything on my Gov2Go app I submitted the document it asked for. My weekly self attestment was back on sept 16 I believe I did that already but when I click to try to do it again it tells me my social security number has no weekly self attest to certify and when I try to apply for LWA it says that I do not have to do this because I do verify through my weekly claims that I’m out of work due to Covid 19. But I never received a text message or remember receiving a text message. I get $158 a week. Will I still get the $300?
What if I only qualify for 5 out of the 6 I kno one of those weeks I made more with employer but the rest I got unemployment
How we get a delay on our LWA funds not alone we waited a extra 2 weeks for …smh i so hate VA
Still have not received my regular unemployment pay nor the lwa retroactive pay .
So thanks to the assistance of all those on this site I was able to call the VEC and actually speak to someone regarding the $300. If you are on UI, PEUC, or anything but PUA you will have to call or self certify for LWA to receive the extra $300 retro pay. Also I was told that the payments will start being processed on the 15th of October and the money will hit accounts Thursday the 15th, Friday the 16th or Monday the 19th just depending on your institution or payment method. October 15th is the processing date. So I was told not to panic if the money is not in on the 15th. I hope this helps y’all Virginians.
Thanks Bill. Appreciate you sharing the info here and helping others in the same boat.
Will that be for 3 weeks or 6 weeks if you know?
Yes thanks Bill for updating us since the ones who actually work at VEC don’t send credible info to everyone. So now its today they “begin” processing, sigh . . . . They know full well most were under the impression the 15th was actual payment date but they did nothing to clarify. Seems at this point the money may not be seen till 2021. If it comes early it will be a happy surprise.
I submitted the lwa stuff by the 30th. It was a quick process so they are saying it’s being processed. It’s a miracle you got through to anyone Bill.
Please explain will PUA get the $300
Yes. LWA is a separate rate program in addition to PUA
I was told today by unemployment office that payments for this week may be delayed because Monday was a holiday and the system went down yesterday. This is for unemployment and LWA
I herd the system went haywire last night, I hope that I receive something today smh
Thank you
I usually get my payments on Thursdays
Normally I get mine on Tuesday, holiday will throw it off a Day so hopefully today
I feel the same guys. I’m on pua in va. I hope they put all 1800 at one time. It’s already been spent
This is straight bullshit yes i said it
I agree!
So from the chat I was on this morning the LWA is delayed again……imagine that. So this is the response I just got from the rep. They will not be paid out on October 15th. The VEC has ran into several problems with programming our system for the payout of the LWA Program. We do not have a definite date that it will be corrected. They are working diligently to get those issues resolved but we do not have a definite date of payout in place at this time. I do apologize
WTF?!
This is so mess up ..Virginia always gotta be last city to get anything.and now they saying the LWA money still not going be posted Oct 15..Sad
I think there was an outage, but this is bull. They are trying to buy more time.
I got my regular unemployment but none of the extra i was approved for. I’m not sure why
Because its not 10/15 which is the date they stated LWA would be deposited!
I received regular payment today, No LWA payment how much longer do we have to wait geesh…. Bills are piling up
Still October 15h (to start payments) per VEC site – link and details in article.
they said 10/15 soooo
Took only 3 wks to get the 600 but taking 3 months to get 300. Been sitting on the bucks since August. With interest could have paid the 400.
I’m already getting regular unemployment I also applied and qualified for LWA, I was told that I could also apply for the pay. Got a message on five app starring that I need w2 form for last year. I have that just don’t know how to upload. I called tonight to check status Of my account and it’s sayin my social and my pin is invalid. Can someone help me with this please.
They same thing happened to me. I called they said sinse I am on pua I didn’t have to send them my w2 s. So your good. Is your lwa light green
Hey Mike my homeboy that banks at SunTrust got his lastnite and it is the hole 1800 that’s what this whole delay has been about they did not want to have to use this new system every week for six weeks they wanted to get the whole amount out at one time and in the process this is just my opinion they drew interest off the money while it was sitting somewhere
I have a cuestión ? I have regular unemployment claim but I did Aply for LWA On September 30 on va2go App And When I done say complete and I recive it my confirmation on my email do I gonna ge it the retro active ? Thanks
This information is incorrect.
“Applicants only need to self-certify that they are unemployed/partially unemployed due to disruptions caused by COVID-19. If they don’t self-certify by 10/15/20 they may not be eligible to receive any of the $300 due to FEMA funding limitations. See more details on the VA LWA page.”
I have a friend who became unemployed in late August due to Covid19. She applied for VEC and was approved getting her award letter in early September. She did not get any notice about LWA. I told her about it and today (10/10/20) she applied for LWA. She was deemed ineligible. My queries on her behalf revealed the cut off date to apply for LWA was actually 9/30/20. And so it goes.
It seems like the cutoff to apply for LWA was 9/30 and the cutoff to self-certify for LWA was 10/15. I believe it is 2 different things. I applied for LWA on 9/28, when I applied for PEUC on Gov2Go. I didn’t know about the self-certification until I read this article, so I did that 10/12. And of course you should continue to certify weekly for unemployment.
PEUC is to get an additional 13 weeks of unemployment so it would seem you would only need to do that part if your current UI had expired. If it isn’t then you should only need to apply for LWA.
I’m just curious have been unemployed since March so lwa Beni fit is from August 1 thru sept 5 so if I just went back too work in oct so I won’t be filing my weekly claim anymore starting this week oct 15th will I automatically get my payment for the weeks it was available or will I need to do something???
does anyone know if when it says fill out the payment section on the gov2go is how they will be sending the payment, I had my bank account information set up on the VEC that my payment automatically go in every month, so is this the way we will be getting our payment now ?
Should still be part of their record.
Why act so surprised they are needing documentation? If you were self employed, you surely file taxes? So that’s what you send on- the PROOF that you were self employed.
What I’ve seen is people who surely have not worked a lick in the last two years for sure, who never intended on working, claiming they’re “self employed” – well, now I guess it’s do or die!
IF you worked, you can prove it!
If you didn’t lose your job due to pandemic but still get unemployment do you still qualify for LWA
I was told Yes by an agent if you are collection partial unemployment you qualify for LWA
Did you get an answer on this
I was receiving everything until I got the Gov2Go app and turned in everything now when I call it says 000 and I have no weeks to claim ???
if you call 866.832.2363 then press 1 followed by 9 – you’ll get a live agent
Hope this helps :)
They told me they are only claims Every time I call it hangs up on me if I follow thru to speak to someone
I sent in my w2 form for lost wages and they cut off my pua why
Did you get an answer on this
Va should be ashamed of theirselves! Tell the people it was glitch in the system, bull crap Va!! The longer that money stays there they can draw interest off it!!
There was a list of all the States that Governors applied for the Federal Funds for their residents; Guess who didn’t do it until three days before the deadline; my Sis in Florida; (Republican Governor) they received their $400 yes they paid the additional $100 that our Governor refused to pay 6 weeks ago. We are now waiting for ours to be in Somewhere around Oct 15th. Shame on them all!
I am so sick if Virginia unemployment this is rediculous not only did they wait till the September 30th deadline to tell us the wages have been delayed they have the nerve to delay it for two whole weeks and we still don’t know if it will go out then. And even if it does we still have to wait for it to hit our bank account the polititians truly dropped the ball on this and on top of it all you literally can’t even talk to a representative other states websites are much clearer with more information Virginia didn’t even tell us how we needed to self certify until recently I wanna get my hands around somebody neck
I was told by VEC to just put ten zeros and you will be good to go. Hope this helps it worked for me
Oh goodness lol. I just put the 9 digits in and then in place of the letter I put a 0. So maybe all zeros would work too
Hi Tonya,
What is the ten zeros means? Please help me understand this ten zeros thing. Thanks.
Ten zeros if your LWA earnings documentation has no ten-digit state ID number. Enter ten zeroes instead.
Has anyone received lw benifits yet
Its not 10/15 yet
If you bank with SunTrust
WELCOME TO VIRGINIA enjoy your stay
Reading through the comments i feel just like others virginia as whole is terrible its no way we have to wait this long for our money do they really understand we living in a pandemic?! Or do they dont care is what it look like …..its truly sad we all have to suffer behind actions of tge government and Congress how is that we have to wait after Hawaii? Yes …smh i looked it up and i was in rage…we need our money and demand it right now!!
VA applied for the Federal Funds; three days before the deadline; hence the reason it is taking so long; Florida was paid week ago we now have to wait until Oct 15th.
They applied way before that. States that applied after us have already received their money. Stop spreading false bshi$
I received an Email that you can now upload your tax return as a proof of income to LWA but only if you are on PUA. It didnt mention anything about regular UI or PUAC. I am on regular UI. What does it mean for me or others that are on regular UI or PUAC?
I have been self certifying weekly. Got the message to go to gov2go to recertification. They are asking for documents. I called the office. Lady told me they already have them & just click “ive already done this”. Fine, turns green. Today its red again for both me & partner. Clicked it again, green, refresh page, red. Says its incomplete. Im worried if I enter the incorrect info I will be rejected. Its like they are hoping we f*ck up so they don’t have to pay.
If anyone can help please, for the love of God help me.
Seems like the link turning back to red is a glitch. If you have confirmation that you completed their requirements then I think you are fine.
I know I’m worried to. I’ve been on pua because I don’t have w2 1099. I don’t have that. Well it let me certify all the weeks but it’s got me worried! I need this money to pervade for my family. Well good logos luck in va
You can also send in a pay stub from your job
Maybe this might help some people I talked to the unemployment place yesturday and the woman had informed me that the PUA document and the lost wages is 2 different things if u self certify if ur on regular unemployment u dont do the PUA document cus its different the PUA document has nothing to do with the lost wages program thats only if u r on PUA and u want to increase ur wages like if u make only 50 dollars on there u can get between 158 to 378 increase…i hope this helps people cus I was just confused as everyone else was..
Hi! So my gov2go keeps asking for my w2 documents. Even when I select that ive already done it, I go back in and it turns red. I just want to make sure I get the 300. Ive already been receiving unemployment since March. Is this the document you are speaking of?
Hey Krista if you have already received a confirmation number for gov2go you are fine. I experienced the same from green to red back to green. We have been waiting too long and because of that my bills have doubles.
Hi Tiffany,
That was told to me as well. PUA you will automatically get the money – it is only if you want to increase the amount. When I logged in after Fema approved VA, I had attest going back to July. There is nothing more to do if you are collecting through PUA. If you get over $100 in PUA you will automatically get the LWA.
Can someone please help me..im trying to submit my documentation for my claim and I was told that my 10 digit state id number and wages for each quarter in 2019 was on my monetary determination letter that I cant seem to find..is there some way I can get a copy of my letter or get the info somewhere else?
I have the same problem. I am hoping someone answers soon.
Your W-2 or 1099 should have the employer id #. Since the gov2go site only accepts digits if your employer # has a letter as part of their id then I entered a 0 in its place. As for your quarterly earnings you just have to pull out pay stubs and do the math. That is what I ended up doing. Just make sure the total for each all 4 quarters equals the same that your employer reported on the W-2 or 1099.
Does anyone know if the funds are still going to be released on 10/15/2020?
Does anyone know how long it takes Peuc to be approved and funds to be sent out once I finished the application?(received a confirmation number) My regular unemployment funds are exhausted.
I guess I have been lucky. I had no problem filing for initial UI benefits. My last payment was 9/23. I received a text on 9/23 about the PECU. I went to Gov2Go filed for my PECU on 9/23 received a confirmation number and was approved in less than 24 hours of doing so. I received my first payment for PECU on 9/30. I received a text and email about the LWA on 9/24, applied and received a confirmation number the same day. I guess I was doing something right!
Can you please help me do it right. I thought I did everything .I was receiving everything until that Gov2Go App now It says Im at 000 status???
Wondering the same thing, especially since I was approved 2 weeks ago and now it’s saying claim couldn’t be processed due to outstanding issue and when I’ve called everyday for the past 2 weeks I’m hung up on 25 times a day, it’s ridiculous!!
Everyone be ready. Even if Virginia does get its act together and complete the “system changes” for LWA it will only pay $900 for the first payment (minus taxes) instead of the lump sum many of us thought we would get.
Where are you getting this info from? They are supposed to be paying out the full amount.
Mine exhausted on a Wed, I applied for the PEUC on that Wed and I got paid the next week.
if u get regular UI not PUA do u still have to certify? I do not have go2gov account.
Yes I believe so! You have to create an account!
