LOL..leave it to the state to have both answers active at the same time on their web site.
Here's a question though....not one question has been asked of me (the employer that has to certify the claims) or a single one of my employees that submitted the claims, about COVID-19. Nothing..zippy... So if that special deal is supposed to be available because the layoff was due to COVID-19.....where in the heck does that information come in to play??

Are you worried about all those unscrupulous business owners who secretly wanted to fire all their employees but couldn't think of an excuse until corona came around, and you wan't to make sure in those cases the employees don't get any extra funds even though they will be just as unemployed?
Why would I worry about them? That post made no sense.
I'm "worried" about one simple thing....I held off laying anyone off, hoping the PPP thing was real. In hindsight, that was a screw-up on my part.

I've had that same question. Even though my son has been laid off specifically due to the COVID-19, there was no point where he was actually asked if his lay off was due to COVID-19. The only thing I can figure is that he's covered by the date ranges they specified.
My debit card arrived today. How's that song go... "I got a little change in my pocket goin' jing-a-ling-a-ling."

Wow. I still haven't gotten my debit card, yet! They said 10 days - on May 5th. I guess I won't see it until next week.
Back to work today, too.
Maybe not. I got my approval letter a day before you got yours (May 4th). Fingers crossedWow. I still haven't gotten my debit card, yet! They said 10 days - on May 5th. I guess I won't see it until next week.

Say fella...can you spare a dime? Gladly pay you Tuesday fer a hamburger today...My debit card arrived today. How's that song go... "I got a little change in my pocket goin' jing-a-ling-a-ling."
Welp..proof is in the card....it was only paid back to the date of the unemployment application (22 April), not the stated layoff date (1 April). Oh well.... Hopefully we can be back rolling in a week or so, so it won't matter any more.

I may not have been completely clear, but my point was there is no real need for them to verify the "why" of the layoff/firing. Does it matter if your business is closing because of COVID and you need to layoff your entire workforce, or if you just decided someone was redundant.
The effects that caused them to send out the additional payments would still apply to the fired person (harder to find new work, extra bills for childcare, etc.). The covid suppliment isn't really related to the firing at all, it's related to the extra expense of being unemployed in the current environment.
So you're talking about the date for the unemployment for your employee, SGI, right?
The website has changed a lot of their webpages that provided information since I applied. My printed out pages are all at the office in my folder. I have screen shots of my BEACON site, though and my claim was effective the day after I applied, which was March 24.
Yes. My point was that the benefit period does not start until after the application date. In hindsight I wish I’d had them apply much earlier, while applying for the PPP at the same time.

Well, that's too bad. I was hoping it was the other way around. I guess, in my son's case, there wasn't a big delay between his layoff date and the time he actually applied because he's been paid for all of the weeks. The only exception might be the very first week because his lay off date is April 2nd and that was a Thursday so that week technically doesn't count.
My wife applied for PUA when it was first opened. I was able to get a printout from Beacon last night that her benefits have been approved back to WE 4/11. It sounds like her card is in the mail.
I applied for regular UI benefits. My payment records are as clear as mud. Money is being loaded onto my debit card but there's not record of it on the Beacon site.

Same for my son. He got his 5th week's payment yesterday yet Beacon has no record of payments.
Update on my earlier post: My payment record on Beacon now appears correct AND the data from the BOA debit card website matches what Beacon shows. Three payments starting WE 4/25.
