Description of Program and Relief
Unemployment Assistance
Unemployment insurance is a program for workers unemployed through no fault of their own. Unemployment benefits may be available to some individuals whose unemployment is attributable to COVID-19, subject to guidance from the Idaho Department of Labor. One type of individual who may file an unemployment claim is a person whose workplace is temporarily or permanently closed. To be eligible, the individual must be physically and mentally able to work at the time of filing the claim.
Governor Little has waived certain restrictions on unemployment assistance as a result of COVID-19. For instance, he has waived the one-week waiting period for all applicants who are otherwise eligible and is allowing claimants to meet the “available-for-work” criteria if they are isolated and unavailable to work at the request of a medical professional, their employer, or government official and will be returning to work for their employer
