Unemployment insurance is an income maintenance program that may be available to you if you are unemployed through no fault of your own.The monies you receive provide temporary help until you return to suitable work.Thousands of unemployed workers each year apply for benefits to supplement their income while looking for new jobs, allowing them to continue making mortgage, car, grocery, and other payments.
Unemployment insurance is temporary income for workers who are unemployed through no fault of their own and are either looking for another job, have a definite recall within 6 weeks of the last day worked, or are in approved training. The funding for unemployment insurance benefits comes from taxes paid by employers. Workers do not pay any of the costs.
Unemployment Insurance (UI) is a program designed to provide temporary financial assistance to workers who are unemployed through no fault of their own and who meet the requirements of the Louisiana Employment Security Law. UI benefits are paid as a matter of past employment and legal entitlement and are not based on need.
