Special unemployment problems require special unemployment measures. In the last few years even workers of federal agencies which though their job was recession-proof have suffered the effects of cash-strapped agencies that are left without another choice but to let workers go. The situation is even worse for workers who suffer the devastating effects of natural disasters and see storms, floods and tornadoes destroy not only their homes and communities but also their jobs, their livelihood. This article will look into two federal programs that can help you with unemployment compensation while you search for work, which you may not have heard of before: the UCX and the DUA.
UCX, Unemployment for Ex-Service Members
If you have been discharged from the U.S. Army, Air Force, Coast Guard or some other military agency, you can apply for UCX unemployment compensation. Notice this program is only for ex-servicemembers.
How To Apply?
Unlike regular state UI benefits, you cannot apply online or over the phone for UCX compensation. You must visit your local office where they can provide you with the forms you need to file your application. You will also receive specialized assistance and instructions to ensure you receive the benefits you are entitled to as an ex-serviceperson.
What You Will Need?
For your UCX benefits to be approved you need to provide proof of your employment with the U.S. Military. This includes your DD form 214, your Member 4, or a certified copy of your 2,3,4,6,7 or 8 forms and two identification items, such as your SS card and your driving license.
DUA, Disaster Unemployment Assistance
When a county is hit by a natural disaster, the Governor can request assistance from the federal government. If the President declares a country the site of a major disaster, such as has been the case in numerous counties this Spring, special unemployment assistance may be available to you.
This unemployment assistance provides compensation not only to employed workers but also to self-employed workers who are generally not covered by unemployment insurance programs. To qualify for these benefits, visit your local unemployment office. Notice that in some cases emergency offices will be placed close to the site of the natural disaster to provide assistance to victims and register them for assistance programs. However, this registration will not necessarily qualify your for DUA benefits. Make sure you visit your local unemployment office and apply specifically for this program.
