Unemployment Benefits Finder

The Unemployment Benefits Finder is administered by the Department of Labor’s CareerOneStop. The finder provides information on unemployment benefits in your state. Unemployment insurance provides unemployment benefits, usually in the form of weekly payments. These benefits are for eligible workers who lose employment through no fault of their own.

Each state administers their own unemployment insurance program. Individual state websites are the best source for updated information.

The Unemployment Benefit Finder helps family members, reserve and Guard members by:

• Ensuring that unemployed workers receive the unemployment benefits for which they qualify
• Helping families financially during periods of unemployment

Using the Unemployment Benefits Finder, select your state. Follow the links to find details of your state’s program. The finder also provides information about how to file in your state.
