Many Louisiana residents who have received unemployment benefits are now getting letters claiming they were overpaid and owe thousands back to the federal government.

More than 67,000 of the state's unemployed may not qualify for an extra $300 in unemployment benefits from the federal government.

The new $300 federally-enhanced weekly unemployment benefits are expected to begin shipping in the next few weeks and will be retroactive to August 1st

Several executive orders were signed today.

The virtual job fair is live online today from 9 am until 2 pm. More than 40 employers will be looking to fill hundreds of positions today.

In order to receive unemployment benefits, you'll have to prove that you've applied for at least three jobs every week.

If you are an unemployed American receiving weekly unemployment payments of $600, those payments will be coming to an end sooner than expected.

For the time being these job fairs will be hosted online with the first one set for next Wednesday, May 13th.

If you've got questions about your COVID-19 benefits, we've got videos that should answer all those questions for you.

It's nearly five times the previous record set in 1982.

The state of Louisiana is making it easier for displaced workers to get unemployment benefits faster.
