County
commissioners are hoping that the US
The
board on Tuesday approved a letter to the federal agency asking for an
extension of the deadline to apply for disaster unemployment assistance because
of Tropical Storm Debbie.
The
benefits were made available after the Tropical Storm hit Franklin County in
late June, County planner Alan Pierce said the county can use the Department of
Agriculture report that there are no oysters in the bay as a basis for the
extension request.
Pierce
said if the request is accepted local seafood workers should be able to
re-apply for unemployment benefits.
