The West Virginia Legislature passed legislation that extends unemployment benefits for those persons who would have been losing their benefits for an additional 20 months. Additionally, anyone who lost their benefits within the past 30 days would likewise be eligible for the extension. The funding for this extension is completely from the Federal government and therefore does not require the State to pay.
The $500 onetime enhancement to all state employees went down after an agreement couldn't be reached to include a onetime $266 enhancement for retirees.
