Kentucky officials say Leslie County has been added to the list of those qualified for unemployment assistance as a result of severe weather in July.<\/p>\n
Leslie County residents who lost work or had damage to their businesses as a result of the weather July 11 to July 20 may be eligible for unemployment insurance benefits.<\/p>\n
The Education and Workforce Development Cabinet’s Office of Employment and Training says farmers and self-employed workers, who normally aren’t eligible for unemployment insurance benefits, may also qualify.<\/p>\n
The deadline to apply for benefits in Leslie County is October 22.<\/p>\n
Breathitt, Fleming and Perry counties are also eligible. The deadline there is October 4. Carter, Johnson, Rowan and Trimble counties are eligible as well, but the deadline there passed last week.<\/p>\n
