    Regardless of whether the stimulus package is signed into law by midnight tonight, claims for the week ending Dec. 26 will not be affected and claimants should file their weekly claim as usual. Benefits in *future* weeks will be impacted if the bill is not signed.

    The $600 will be automatically added to your weekly claim payment this week. It won't yet show in your account until we process the batch of payments tonight. Remember - you don't have to submit your weekly claim on Sunday to get paid this week.

    Update on imposter fraud: We are verifying identities and making payments every day, and yet we know many of you who have been affected are still waiting. This waiting is not only stressful, but creating incredible hardship.
