HELENA – The Montana Department of Labor & Industry today announced the extension of the work search waiver for Unemployment Insurance claimants in Montana.
On Aug. 12 DLI issued a scheduled email to claimants stating that the work search requirements were going back into effect starting August 23. This email notification was scheduled due to the expiration of the temporary emergency rule regarding work search requirements, but due to ongoing public health and safety considerations during the COVID-19 pandemic, the work search waiver will be extended. Claimants are asked to disregard the instructions they received in the emailed letter.
“DLI regrets any confusion this may have caused for UI claimants. We will be issuing a follow-up letter alerting claimants to the continued waiver of these requirements,” Acting Commissioner Brenda Nordlund said. “We want to do everything we can to continue to support Montana workers who have been economically impacted by this pandemic.”
In addition, the establishment of the new Supplemental Payments for Lost Wages Program has shifted resources within the Department for the implementation of the new program. DLI has received written guidance from the U.S. Department of Labor on implementing the Lost Wages Program and has started programmatic efforts.
“This is a continuously evolving situation, and through the extension of the work search waiver, we know we’re helping Montanans impacted by COVID-19 get back on their feet,” Nordlund said. “Instead of focusing on work search requirements, our Department’s focus must be doing everything we can to distribute the extra $400 payments to Montanans through the newly established program once the federal government provides us with the resources we need to do so.”
Over the week of August 1, 36,670 Montanans filed continued unemployment claims, the most recent week data is available. Claimants that are job-attached are still responsible for staying in contact with their employer and must return to work when requested.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
