Unemployment Insurance
Unemployment Insurance benefits (UI) are available for workers who lose their job through no fault of their own.
Often people think they aren’t eligible for Unemployment Insurance when they really are. If you worked for an employer and earned at least $5,140 during the last year, you may be eligible. The best way to find out is to apply.
