Unemployment Insurance Benefits - Unemployment benefits are funded by employers and may be paid to any worker who has lost a job through no fault of his or her own and who meets the eligibility requirements set forth by the law. These benefit payments help job seekers focus on the path to reemployment and help lessen the negative impact of unemployment on the economy. If you were laid off due to no fault of your own or work for an employer that closed or reduced your hours to help stop the spread of COVID-19, you can file or reopen an unemployment claim.
