All recipients of Unemployment Insurance Benefits (UIB), even if only eligible for $1 per week in regular UIB, received a retroactive UIB payment and will receive a temporary $25 per week increase in UIB until December 31, 2009. The retroactive payment and the increase to UIB must be considered when determining Cash Assistance (CA), Food Stamps (FS), and Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) eligibility. Applicants/participants are not required to provide documentation of the increase in benefits.
