CARES Act Unemployment Benefits Set To End December 26

Oklahoma's Employment Security Commission says jobless Oklahomans on both of its pandemic assistance programs will not receive help after December 26th.

It's a decision OESC Director Shelley Zumwalt says wasn't theirs to make.

"The decision to extend those programs or offer another benefit is not a state or OESC decision, it is a federal decision," said Zumwalt

The OESC says if you've already exhausted your pandemic assistance you can still sign up for the State's 13-week Extended Benefits program. For More Info Click Here
