UPDATE (MAY 15): Nevada Department of Training and Rehabilitation is asking people to refrain from attempting to file PUA claims until Saturday.

According to DETR, the website for PUA claims, employnv.gov, will not be live until Saturday. As well, the phone line for assistance (1-800-603-9681) will also not be active until Saturday.

Upon launch, DETR said staffers assisting with the PUA phone line will only be answering PUA-related questions. Anyone with a regular unemployment question should not contact this number.

DETR on Friday also said it was informed that it is one of seven states launching systems for PUA this week. One other state, according to Heather Korbulic, is not planning to launch a system until May 27. However, Korbulic did not specify which state.

Payments for PUA claims are expected to begin May 23 and will include back pay, DETR said.

The agency also noted that PUA funds are federal funds and there is no risk of them being exhausted.

What Our Clients Say

I am so pleased with this law firm and their expertise and assistance in my class action case. We worked together for 3 1/2 years, they were always responsive, helpful and reassuring if I had any questions or concerns. They have also received multiple calls from other members of the class action and have been responsive to those calls coming in too. I never for one moment had any complaints whatsoever and would highly recommend them to anyone.

So in regards to the people of Nevada vs DETR, Mark is a non-stop, guns blazing, no BS kind of attorney. This guy just doesn't back down. I'd hate to be on the wrong end of a lawsuit facing this firm. To the people who are concerned that they aren't being heard, you must realize the absolute burden that every individual case adds to the class action. I haven't had my calls or emails returned, even offered to pay for a face to face consultation, and still no response, and that's okay... I also understand that I am just one of thousands of people with the same issue. Thank you mark for representing the people of this state, and not giving into DETR's BS. Keep up the amazing work!

Great firm to deal with. Listened to all aspects of our case and was able to come out with a positive ruling. Highly recommend them to anyone out there needing help with a class action suit.
