On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 “Stimulus Bill”, Public Law 111-5. Section 2002 of the ARRA authorized additional Unemployment Insurance Benefits (UIB) payments of $25.00 per week, effective March 1, 2009. This GIS message advises local departments of social services (LDSS) of the Medicaid treatment of the additional UIB payments which will be distributed to all UIB recipients. This GIS supersedes earlier e-mailed instructions.
