NOTICE:
> The Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) program provides that eligible claimants shall receive an additional $300 per week payment. This payment to eligible claimants will begin for the week ending January 2, 2021, and will continue until the week ending September 4, 2021. Unemployment benefits, including this additional $300 per week payment, are subject to federal and state income taxes.

> While the Missouri legislature considers allowing the Department of Labor (DOLIR) to waive federal unemployment overpayments made during the pandemic, DOLIR has temporarily paused collections on pandemic-related overpayments, except for the two types listed below (due to compliance with state and federal law): (1) Offset of future benefit payments - when an amount is deducted from a future unemployment payment because of a previous overpayment owed by the claimant; and (2) Federal tax refund intercept - when the amount of a tax refund is reduced to collect fraud overpayments and all overpayments due to earnings that were not reported.
