The Alabama Department of Labor will begin processing payments for the American Rescue Plan (ARP) extensions, including the additional $300 weekly Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) payment.

Claimants who are eligible for these payments will need to take no action other than continuing to file their weekly certifications. ADOL completed programming for these changes on Thursday, March 18, and claimants should expect to see payments as soon as next week, depending on their bank’s policies.
