Title: Disaster Unemployment Assistance Program, Amendment to Regulations
Abstract: Experience in several recent disasters has highlighted the complexity and time-consuming nature of the monetary benefit provisions of the current regulations and brought into question other provisions of the current regulations which are perceived to be unduly restrictive and/or result in perceived inequities in some disaster situations. These issues will be addressed in two stages. First, an ANPRM was published, with a 60-day comment period, on 12/08/94 at 59 FR 63670. This ANPRM outlined provisions in the Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) program regulations (20 CFR part 625), other than the monetary benefit provisions, that have come into question and solicits public comment and suggestions relative to these provisions and on other provisions for review and potential revision in a future NPRM. Second, an interim final rule was published May 11, 1995, with a 60-day comment period. This rule simplified the monetary assistance provisions by removing cumbersome administrative provisions and inconsistencies in the computation of a weekly amount. A final rule will be published to incorporate comments and other minor technical amendments.
