Temporary Workforce Board resource center to remain open next week in Mayfield

The West Kentucky Workforce Board has announced that its partnership with Graves County Schools will continue to allow them to operate a temporary resource center at Graves County High School in Mayfield.

The center will be open from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Monday through Wednesday of next week. So far, nearly 400 citizens who lost their business or employment from the December 10 tornado have utilized the temporary site.

They have filed for unemployment insurance, replaced personal identification documents, or handled other online needs, according to a news release.

As previously reported, individuals who became unemployed or those who are self-employed and had work interrupted as a direct result of the severe storms, straight-line winds, flooding, and tornadoes, are eligible to apply for Disaster Unemployment Assistance benefits through the Kentucky Office of Unemployment Insurance.
