The Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development (TDLWD) has launched Mobile American Job Centers (MAJCs) at two Multi-Agency Resource Centers (MARCs) in Northeast Tennessee. This initiative aims to support individuals unable to work due to the recent historic flooding in the area. The MAJCs, established in collaboration with the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA), provide a resource for displaced workers to access unemployment services.
The centers offer essential amenities such as air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, and laptops, enabling affected individuals to file for state Unemployment Insurance benefits and federal Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA). TDLWD staff are available on-site to assist with the application process and provide guidance.
