Opportunity Wisconsin Unemployment and PUA Expiration Conversation Series


Opportunity Wisconsin hosts a series of live conversations with furloughed Wisconsin workers to discuss the impending expiration of the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) benefits created by the CARES Act. These benefits have provided support for nearly 700,000 unemployed Wisconsinites and served as a critical lifeline for millions more Americans out of work.

Join us to hear from Wisconsinites across the state who have lost their jobs due to COVID-19 about what will face them if those CARES Act benefits are not renewed at the end of July and about the challenges they have experienced in trying to secure these benefits."
