First Batch of Disaster Unemployment Assistance Checks Mailed Out
The Guam Department of Labor (GDOL) has announced that the first batch of Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) benefits in the amount of $252,898 have been processed and released.
“We are still in the midst of sifting through thousands of pending claims while also continuing to assist claimants with numerous outstanding issues,” said GDOL Director David Dell’Isola. “Adjudicators have been working hard to process all claims with the required supporting documents submitted so we can pay those first. As we move forward, more time will be devoted to resolving claims with eligibility issues.”
GDOL reminds claimants and employers to respond to inquiries and requests for information as soon as possible to prevent delays with the processing of DUA claims.

HOW TO UPLOAD DOCUMENTS
Claimants are reminded to submit all pending documents online through their HIREGUAM account or by dropping them off at the DUA Office, located at the GCIC Building, 414 W Soledad Ave, 7th Floor, in Hagåtña. Claimants have 21 days to submit all pending documents from the date of their initial claim or their claim may be denied.
