May payment of supplemental lost wages assistance be combined with the underlying unemployment benefit payments when issued?

Yes, the state, territory and the District of Columbia has discretion as to whether it issues a combined payment or separate payment for supplemental lost wages assistance, but the state/territory must be able to account for supplemental lost wages assistance separately from the underlying benefit. Whether paid together or separately, the supplemental lost wages payments must be paid at the same time as the underlying benefit (either weekly or bi-weekly).
