“We’re seeing a lot of job opportunities in the workforce and looking to fill those so that we can continue to have businesses open,” the executive director for OESC, Shelley Zumwalt said.
The first 20,000 applicants who apply and who are eligible will receive the payment. Applicants will also need to provide their pay stubs from the six weeks of work. Payment distribution begins in mid-July.
