Frequently Asked Questions

Is unemployment benefit only for involuntary termination?

In principle, voluntary resignation does not qualify. However, exceptions include recommended resignation, contract expiration, workplace closure, unpaid wages, and workplace harassment. Check with your local Employment Center for your specific situation.

What is the application deadline?

You must apply within 12 months of leaving your job. Any remaining benefit days after this deadline are forfeited. Apply as soon as possible at your local Employment Center or via WorkNet online.

Can part-time workers receive unemployment benefit?

If you worked 15+ hours per week and accumulated 180+ insured days in the 18 months before separation, you are eligible. Workers under 15 hours per week may be exempt from employment insurance.
