COVID-19

COVID-19 Cases in Mississippi

As of Thursday, July 30, the Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) reported 1,775 new COVID-19 cases, bringing the total number of COVID-19 cases in our state to 57,579 and the total number of deaths to 1,611. Currently, there are more than 900 people hospitalized due to the virus.

It’s important to remember that these are more than just statistics. Each number represents a father, a mother, a son, a daughter, or a neighbor. I’m encouraging all Mississippians to think beyond yourself and your household. As we continue the fight against COVID-19, let us all adopt a mindset and habits that lead to a safer and healthier Mississippi.

Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation

Some Mississippians may be eligible to receive additional financial assistance through the extended Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) program. According to the Mississippi Department of Employment Security (MDES), notification letters were mailed out to potentially eligible claimants, instructing them how to file for the PEUC program.

President Donald Trump signed Public Law 116-136, The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020. This law includes relief for workers affected by the Coronavirus Act and creates the temporary PEUC federal program that provides up to thirteen (13) additional weeks of PEUC benefits to eligible individuals in all states.

Those who may be eligible include:

  • Individuals who have exhausted all rights to regular unemployment compensation under state or federal law and have an expired benefit year ending on or after July 1, 2019;
  • Individuals who have no rights to regular compensation under any other state and federal law;
  • Individuals who are able to work, available for work, and actively seeking work, in accordance with state and federal requirements.

The PEUC program is 100 percent federally funded. These additional thirteen weeks of PEUC benefits are only payable for weeks after March 29, 2020.
