Help wanted signs line our streets,\u201d said <strong>state Labor and Regulation Secretary Marcia Hultman<\/strong>. \u201cSouth Dakota is, and has been, \u2018Open for Business.\u2019 Ending these programs is a necessary step towards recovery, growth, and getting people back to work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>South Dakota was the only state to not apply for the federal Lost Wages Assistance (LWA) supplement last fall. Additionally, South Dakota did not opt into the federal Mixed Earner Unemployment Compensation (MEUC) program in December 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>South Dakota elected to participate in three unemployment-related programs in connection with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and Continued Assistance to Unemployed Workers Act of 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>South Dakota will no longer participate in the federal Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) program, which affected claimants who have exhausted their traditional 26 weeks of regular State unemployment compensation.<\/li>\n<li>South Dakota will no longer issue supplemental $300 weekly payments to claimants under the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) program. This payment was made to all claimants who were receiving unemployment benefits regardless of the program under which they are being paid.<\/li>\n<li>South Dakota will no longer participate in the federal Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) program. PUA currently provides benefits to the self-employed, the underemployed, independent contractors, and individuals who have been unable to work due to health or COVID-19-related reasons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The termination will be effective on the week ending June 26, 2021, for all three programs. South Dakota will continue to pay regular State claims. The agreement signed to initiate these programs allows South Dakota or the U.S. Department of Labor to terminate the programs upon 30 days\u2019 written notice to the other
