As a caregiver to my spouse who lost her battle with Cancer, I know firsthand, like so many others, how hard the fight against Cancer can be on both the fighter and the family.I ask everyone to lift up Commissioner Bruce Thompson and his family during this difficult time. #gapol

This morning, my bride of the last 9 years lost her battle with cancer. She loved taking care of her family and strangers alike. Also, she had a very mischievous sense of humor that made us all laugh. We miss you Chantell. 05/01/1974-06/22/2023

@SabrinaHogan has been working with me since the beginning of the pandemic as a volunteer. She's done a great job of not only helping people but also giving us great insight into helping us come up with solutions. She should be commended for her great spirit of volunteerism!

For self-employed, gig workers and 1099 workers we are working on an easy way for you to file. USDOL is requiring your 2019 tax return and/or we can substitute a 1099 with some self-attesting. Currently working with Georgia Department of revenue for an easy solution for everyone.

For individuals that are currently receiving state unemployment benefits, it looks like we should be able to start putting in the additional $600 at this time next week. Including all back monies owed. The delay was caused by extra steps that USDOL wants us to take........

Those additional steps include honoring any intercepts that are out there for individuals that owe back taxes and child support. All of that has to be programmed into our system.

This is an unfair article. Some reporters think it's easy to make all this happen, there are a lot of moving parts, a lot of IT design, rules to be written. It would be more helpful if the press would help set expectations. I know something about this... nbcnews.com/business/busines…

And this is not a political opinion about this. It's a practical one. Large complicated programs like this usually take months if not years, we're talking less than a month.

@rubytuesday you do realize you are mandated by federal law/stimulus to report laid off employees due to COVID to the respective DOL for claims...right? @GeorgiaDOL @Butler4GA @waberosescott i have friends saying you have not complied!

So finally USDOL is having a conference call with all of the states about the provisions in the Cares Act this afternoon. Stay tuned hopefully they're going to let us know how they would like for us to administer the provisions that are in the bill. And release funding. #COVID19

Very disappointed in @11AliveNews for putting out a story just for the sake of headlines before they talked with us to make sure that their sources had their facts straight, which they didn't. #COVID19 #gapol
