Individuals who began work on or before March 1, 2021, will be eligible for the added compensation. They must be actively employed on May 15, 2021, to be eligible for the added compensation. Actively employed include individuals who are on paid or unpaid approved FMLA leave, COVID leave, military leave or workers compensation leave.
