                     The Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) is a program that
                     temporarily expanded unemployment insurance eligibility to
                     self-employed workers, freelancers, independent contractors and
                     part-time workers impacted by the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. This
                     program was established by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
                     Security (CARES) Act, which expanded states' ability to provide
                     unemployment insurance to many workers affected by COVID-19, including
                     people who aren't ordinarily eligible for unemployment benefits.
