Disaster Unemployment Assistance:
Extension of Period for Filing Claims
and for the Submission of
Documentation
The Employment and Training
Administration (ETA) administers
Federal law requirements pertaining to
Disaster Unemployment Assistance
(DUA). These requirements are found in
Federal regulations at 20 CFR 625. Due
to the devastation created by Hurricane
Katrina, ETA, through its Regional
Offices, has informed the states of
Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi
that two filing deadlines for DUA are
being extended. The memoranda are
being published in the Federal Register
in order to inform the public.

Period for Disaster Unemployment
Assistance (DUA) for Claims Related to
Hurricane Katrina.
Due to the devastation caused by
Hurricane Katrina, the filing period for
DUA is extended through November 30,
2005. This extension is based on the fact
that there is widespread dislocation of
workers and damage to the affected
areas’ infrastructure inflicted by
Hurricane Katrina, which will make it
difficult for individuals to file within
the 30-day filing period. Additional
time will afford those individuals a

C. Juarez, Regional Administrator,
Dallas.
From: Emily Stover Derocco,
Assistant Secretary of Labor.
Subject: Disaster Unemployment
Assistance (DUA)—Extension of Period
for Submitting Documentation.
Due to the devastation caused by
Hurricane Katrina, the time required for
submission of documentation under 20
CFR 625.6(e)(1) is extended. For
purposes of Hurricane Katrina, this
documentation must be submitted
within 90 days calendar days after the
filing of the initial application for DUA.
This extension is based on the fact that
there has been widespread evacuation of
workers due to the hurricane. It is
unlikely that evacuees who do not have
documentation at the time of filing will
be able to obtain documentation within
the 21-day period specified by the
regulation because they will not have
access to the appropriate documentation
and may have to rely on others to
provide this documentation.
More specifically, 20 CFR 625.6(e)(1)
provides that when an applicant’s
weekly DUA amount is based only ‘‘on
the individual’s statement,’’ the
individual shall furnish documentation
in support of this statement ‘‘within 21
calendar days of the filing of the initial
application for DUA.’’ As discussed
above, for purposes of Hurricane
Katrina, this period is extended to
within 90 calendar days of filing the
initial application.
Please advise the States of Alabama,
Louisiana, and Mississippi of this
extension. These states should take
appropriate action to notify both future
applicants and applicants who were
initially unable to supply
documentation of this extension.
