Pua Case

The PUA (Pandemic Unemployment Assistance) case refers to claims filed by individuals who lost income due to COVID-19 but didn't qualify for traditional unemployment benefits. PUA provided financial support to gig workers, self-employed, and others not covered by regular unemployment programs. Cases involve verifying eligibility, preventing fraud, and processing claims swiftly. Challenges include backlog issues, identity verification, and ensuring benefits reach those genuinely affected. Overall, PUA aimed to support those impacted by the pandemic’s economic hardship beyond standard unemployment insurance.
