Unemployment help available

North Dakotans whose income has been interrupted by the flood disaster can now tap into a new federal aid program, North Dakota Job Service officials said Monday. The new Disaster Unemployment Assistance program is for people in the 26 counties in the presidential-declared disaster areas and applies to not just wage earners who lost work and income, but also self-employed persons, including farmers, said Job Service Director Maren Daley. Daley announced the program to legislators and other officials at a meeting Monday morning.
