FINANCIAL RESOURCES FOR RESIDENTS IMPACTED BY COVID-19

[1]

The Department of Public Social Services [2] is aware of the financial
impact that the Coronavirus is having on the health and financial
well-being of County of Los Angeles residents, leaving thousands
unemployed or underemployed. The department has provided the below
resources to help residents who may be experiencing financial challenges
due to the pandemic:

IF YOU HAVE HAD YOUR HOURS CUT, BEEN FURLOUGHED, OR LAID OFF:

If your employer has reduced your hours or shut down operations due to
COVID-19, you can file for unemployment insurance. If you are expecting
to return to your job after the dust settles, you do not have to be
actively seeking new work during the outbreak. But you must be “able and
available to work” to get these benefits, which generally range from
$40-$450 per week for up to six months.

IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY SICK WITH THE CORONAVIRUS OR HAVE BEEN EXPOSED:

Individuals who are unable to work due to having or being exposed to
COVID-19 (certified by a medical professional) can file a Disability
Insurance (DI) claim.

Disability Insurance provides short-term benefit payments to eligible
workers who have full or partial loss of wages due to a non-work-related
illness, injury, or pregnancy. Benefit amounts are approximately 60-70
percent of wages (depending on income) and range from $50 – $1,300 a
week.

IF YOU ARE CARING FOR SOMEONE ELSE WHO IS SICK:

Californians who are unable to work because they are caring for an ill
or quarantined family member with COVID-19 (certified by a medical
professional) can file a Paid Family Leave (PFL) claim.

Paid Family Leave provides up to six weeks of benefit payments to
eligible workers who have a full or partial loss of wages because they
need time off work to care for a seriously ill family member or to bond
with a new child. Benefit amounts are approximately 60-70 percent of
wages (depending on income) and range from $50-$1,300 a week.
