1. LWAP stands for Lost Wage Assistance Program and is not a special program that will require several layers of an application process and will take the amount of time required to process and crosscheck information before administering payments.
2. All U.I. Programs are supplemental and are not intended to fully cover individual expenses, but rather a program to partially provided support based on need.
3. When completing the application, do not tear or rip the form. Fill in the required information and return the document whole.
4. The application is currently green (and examples can be found in attachments.)

Additionally, claimants can utilize the Integrated Voice Response System (IVR) by calling 340-715-5744 and using their assigned Personal Identification Number (PIN) to check on the status of their claim.
