Dear Fellow Nevadan,

The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) expect tens of millions of Americans to receive their Economic Impact Payments via direct deposit today, April 15. If you do not have your direct deposit information on file with the IRS, you will receive a check in the mail in the coming weeks.

Last week, the IRS and Treasury Department launched an online portal called “Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here” to allow quick registration for the Economic Impact Payments for those who don’t normally file a tax return - including those with too little income to file, those who don’t receive Social Security retirement, disability (SSDI), survivor benefits, or Railroad Retirement benefits.

Additionally, the IRS launched an online portal called “Get My Payment” that will allow taxpayers who filed their tax return in 2018 or 2019 but did not provide their banking information on their return to submit direct deposit information so they can receive payments immediately, as opposed to getting mailed checks which will start being distributed before the end of April. This portal will also allow taxpayers to track the status of their payment.

For more information about your Economic Impact Payment, please visit IRS.gov and Treasury.gov/CARES. My website also provides information on who will qualify for the payments.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to develop, I want you to know that my team in Nevada and in Washington is here to help answer your questions and get you connected to all of the resources you need. I know this is an uncertain time, but my office is here to do everything we can to help all Nevadans navigate this challenging time.

Click here to access my website’s new resource page. Check the page frequently – we’ll be updating it with additional resources as we have them.

You can access any of the resources directly below:

Nevadans are resilient and we will get through this, together.

I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU

As always, I want to hear from you. Contact my office, find me on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, email me, or sign up for my e-newsletter to receive regular updates on my legislative work.

Unemployment Insurance - Nevada

We hope this can be of use to you or someone you know. We’ve included a link to the state of Nevada unemployment insurance claim along with helpful Q&As for those filing for coronavirus-related reasons.

By visiting http://ui.nv.gov/css.html, you can get

Q&A for those filing for coronavirus-related reasons

How do I file for unemployment insurance benefits?

All in-person claim filing methods are temporarily closed. The Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation suggests people file online and access educational pamphlets and videos at ui.nv.gov. There is also a claims call center open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. for general support, as well as Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon for those who need login or PIN support. The Southern Nevada call center can be reached at (702) 486-0350.

Will I qualify if COVID-19 causes my employer to temporarily shut down or lay off workers?

Yes, benefits are open to those out of work and no longer receiving pay from their employer due to the outbreak. People cannot file if they are not working but still receiving pay from an employer, including accrued sick leave or vacation hours. If they are still receiving pay from an employer, they are not considered unemployed.

Am I eligible for any unemployment benefits if my hours are reduced?

It depends on the number of hours that have been reduced and the amount of earnings for the week, but some earning less than $469 in gross weekly earnings may be eligible for reduced unemployment insurance benefits.

Do I still have to search for work during the crisis?

An executive order from Gov. Steve Sisolak waived all work-search requirements for those currently filing for unemployment insurance benefits. As of Wednesday, work-search waivers are good through April 16, when the 30-day nonessential business shutdown is set to end.

Am I eligible for unemployment benefits if I’m self-employed and unable to work during the crisis?

As of Wednesday, there is no program available through the state’s unemployment insurance offices to assist self-employed workers.
