Today is the deadline to apply for the Wayne County Cares Program designed to help those impacted by the most recent state shut down.

This program is for workers in the restaurant, hospitality, entertainment, and fitness industry who have been impacted by the most recent Michigan Pause orders.

If selected to receive the award in the random drawing, applicants will receive a one time payment of $500, according to Wayne County.

Only applicants with a verified address in Wayne County, MI who meet the income and employment requirements will be added to a randomized list.

The randomized list identifies applicants who will move forward onto the next step in the process, the county said.

Applicants will be notified via email (if they provided no email then a call will be made) if they have been selected.

The application only takes a few minutes to complete.
