COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) – Missouri is reinstating requirements for unemployment and
food stamps that had been waived because of the coronavirus pandemic. Workers
will need to comply with job search requirements to continue getting
unemployment after July 4. The state also will start requiring families to
verify that they’re still eligible to get food stamps beginning July 1.
Meanwhile, the coronavirus is spreading beyond Missouri’s largest cities. The
St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the share of cases coming from rural areas
now accounts for about 30% of the state’s new cases – a greater portion than
ever before.
