You are required to report to your employer before you return to work all travel to any of the states listed below. Each employer will establish its own system for monitoring the out-of-state travel of its employees. Newly added states are in bold:

    • Alabama
    • Arizona
    • Arkansas
    • California
    • Florida
    • Georgia
    • Idaho

The list of states for which self-quarantine is required is still subject to change and we will continue to keep everyone apprised of any changes.

During the quarantine period, you may be eligible for unemployment insurance benefits, and you are encouraged to make application for those benefits. You may also be eligible for benefits from the USMX-ILA Coronavirus Pandemic Relief Fund. Please contact either your employer or your local union for help in applying for these benefits.
