Need unemployment assistance?




  1. What are unemployment benefits?
  2. How do I apply?

Unemployment benefits provide you with temporary income if you lose your job through no fault of your own. The money partly replaces your lost earnings and helps you pay expenses while looking for new work. Benefits are based on a percentage of your previous earnings with a maximum determined by the State. Unemployment benefits are not based on financial need. While you receive benefits, your job is to get back to work as quickly as possible.
