Gov. Laura Kelly announced Wednesday that the state’s Lost Wages Assistance Program is set to start Friday. The program will give Kansans already receiving unemployment benefits an additional $300 per week. “Short term, the Lost Wages Assistance program will help provide critical support to unemployed Kansans due to the coronavirus pandemic,” the governor said in a statement. “I urge the Senate to pass legislation to extend federal benefits to those still in need.”
