INDIANAPOLIS - Due to computer programming requiring less time than anticipated, some Hoosiers eligible to resume collecting the federally funded unemployment extensions can begin applying immediately. The Indiana Department of Workforce Development has begun posting vouchers for eligible Hoosiers. DWD estimates that one-third of the vouchers are available as of Thursday. Additional vouchers will be posted daily. All vouchers will be posted by Tuesday, August 3.

The unemployment computer system updates overnight, so Hoosiers need only check their homepage once daily to see if their vouchers are available.

D-W-D anticipates restoring eligibility to approximately 80,000 Hoosiers covering nearly 250,000 weeks of payment
