The Department of Labor just announced a new initiative: If you are self-employed or you are a recent hire and you wouldn't ordinarily qualify for unemployment benefits, you now do. They have set up a disaster-relief fund and they are aggressively looking to sign up anyone affected by Katrina who needs the income help.
