Social Security Administration - Here to Help

6/26/2020

0 Comments

 
On behalf of the Social Security Administration (SSA), [I/we] want to let you know that during the current coronavirus pandemic, SSA continues to provide help to you and others in your community.
 
While their offices are not providing service to walk-in visitors due to COVID-19, SSA remains committed to providing ongoing benefits and vital services.  SSA asked [me/us] to let you know that they remain ready and able to help you by phone with most Social Security matters. You can speak with a representative by calling your local Social Security office or their National 800 Number.  They provide local office phone numbers conveniently online with their Social Security Office Locator.
 
SSA also wants you to know they have many secure and convenient online services to:
 
  • Apply for Retirement, Disability, and Medicare benefits,
  • Check the status of an application or appeal,
  • Request a replacement Social Security card (in most areas),
  • Print a benefit verification letter, and
  • Much more.
 
Most business with SSA can be done online, but they know that many people still rely on phone or in-person help.  That’s why they want you to know you can still count on them by phone. And, if you have a critical situation they cannot help you with by phone or online, they may be able to schedule an appointment for you.
 
If you need help from SSA, please don’t wait until they can see you in person.  Reach out now and get the help you need.
 
Lastly, SSA also understands that getting medical and other documentation can be difficult due to the pandemic.  So, they are continuing to extend certain deadlines wherever possible.

6/26/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
.
DES MOINES – Iowa Workforce Development announced an increase to the amount of maximum weekly benefits paid to unemployed Iowans and to workers injured on the job.  The new benefit payment schedules apply to individuals who file new unemployment insurance claims for the week beginning July 5, 2020, and to workers injured on or after July 1, 2020. Individuals currently receiving benefits from state or federal programs will continue to receive the same weekly benefit amount.
An increase in the amount of wages covered by unemployment insurance triggered the rise in benefits.  The average annual wage for insured Iowa workers increased to $48,455.86 in 2019, up from $47,290.57 in 2018. 
Under Iowa law, the number of people covered by unemployment insurance and their gross wages are primary elements of a formula Iowa Workforce Development uses each year to compute maximum and minimum benefit amounts paid to jobless workers. The new rates are:
Picture
.
Iowa Workforce Development officials noted that about half of those eligible for unemployment insurance benefits have enough earnings to qualify for the maximum benefit. The 2021 taxable wage base will be $32,400.
Beginning July 1, the workers’ compensation maximum weekly benefit for temporary total disability, healing period, permanent total disability and death will rise to $1,864. For permanent partial disability, the weekly maximum will be $1,715.
Information about the weekly benefits is available in the 2019 Unemployment Insurance Claimant Handbook at www.iowaworkforcedevelopment.gov

We hope these resources will help Iowans stay safe, healthy, informed, and resilient during these challenging times.

During the pandemic, it is especially important for us to serve as a catalyst of information to provide support and resources to Iowans, particularly vulnerable Iowans who are  experiencing additional challenges, to help them understand the state's response to  COVID-19. 

​

After this week, our newsletters will be available bi-weekly. Please continue to follow us on Facebook and Twitter. ​

As Iowa transitions from response to recovery phase, the Iowa Department of Human Rights thanks its staff, partners, and communities for their continued commitment and passion for helping Iowans during a time of need. From increasing access to information, to utility assistance, to distributions of food and masks, to family services, our collective actions are supporting Iowans whose lives have been impacted by the pandemic.

Venturing Out? 

As summer approaches and restrictions are being lifted, people are looking to venture out.  Whether you are dining at a restaurant, going to the gym or nail salon, or hosting a cookout, it's important to stay safe when resuming daily activities.  Although there is no way to ensure zero risk of infection, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says it’s important to understand the potential risks and how to adopt different types of prevention measures to protect yourself and to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.

  • In general, the more closely you interact with others and the longer that interaction, the higher the risk of COVID-19 spread.
  • If you decide to engage in public activities, continue to protect yourself by practicing everyday preventive actions.
  • Keep these items on hand when venturing out: a cloth face covering, tissues, and a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol, if possible.
