Description of Program and Relief
Unemployment Insurance Benefits Relief (§ 96-1 et al.)
Under the Employment Security Law, unemployment benefits are generally available to individuals who have been separated from employment through no fault of their own, earn sufficient wages to establish a claim, and are physically able, available, and actively seeking work.
Due to the impact of COVID-19, the Governor has signed an Executive Order ordering that the requirement that the individual be physically able, available, and actively seeking work is to be interpreted flexibly or waived, as appropriate. The Governor has also suspended the standard one-week waiting period for unemployment benefits for unemployed claimants and has waived the requirement that people must apply for benefits in person. Additionally, the Governor has declared that employers will not be responsible for benefits paid as a direct result of any COVID-19 based claims.
