septembre 9, 2020 

WASHINGTON -- FEMA Administrator Pete Gaynor approved Guam for a FEMA
grant under the Lost Wages Assistance program. FEMA’s grant funding
will allow Guam to provide $300 per week -- on top of their regular
unemployment benefit -- to those unemployed due to COVID-19. FEMA will
work with Guam Governor Lou Leon Guerrero to implement a system to
make this funding available to Guam residents.

On Aug. 8, 2020, President Trump made available up to $44 billion from
FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund to provide financial assistance to
Americans who have lost wages due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, the
territory of Guam agreed to administer a lost wages program for its
citizens who are unemployed due to COVID-19.

FEMA looks forward to working with the governors of additional states
and territories who agree to administer a lost wages program to bring
financial relief to unemployed Americans.
