Doña Ana County residents may now apply for federal disaster unemployment assistance after the county was added to New Mexico’s major disaster declaration for June 23 storms, flooding and landslides.
The rule is being added to define regulations necessary for the application of prevailing wage rates for laborers and mechanics employed under the auspices of a local government through the issuance of an industrial revenue bond, including procedures for the predetermination of wages, the adoption of job classification descriptions, and the adoption of procedures for the enforcement of the Public Works Minimum Wage Act (PWMWA), and in conformity with the Public Works Apprenticeship and Training Act (PWAT).
President Donald Trump approved disaster aid for New Mexico, authorizing unemployment assistance for Lincoln County residents and businesses affected by severe storms, flooding, and landslides that struck June 23 at the request of Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham.
