Jim Justice says some West Virginians on unemployment will be able to receive an extra $400 weekly benefit.Because of a congressional stalemate over another coronavirus relief package, an additional benefit of $600 expired on Aug. 1. The following week, President Donald Trump took executive action and called for states to cover $100 of an additional $400 to those on unemployment.The federal portion of West Virginia’s newest round of additional benefits will come through $68.3 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. WorkForce West Virginia acting Commissioner Scott Adkins said FEMA has set aside $44 billion for states to use for the extra benefits.Adkins said to be eligible for the additional $400, unemployed workers would have to have been able to receive at least $100 a week in standard benefits.&nbsp;If unemployed workers are not eligible for at least $100 in weekly benefits, they would still be able to receive an additional $100, but not the remaining $300.The additional benefits are retroactive to Aug.&nbsp; 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;A native of Washington, West Virginia, Dave Mistich joined West Virginia Public Broadcasting in October of 2012, as the Charleston Reporter.
