It’s possible that you may be eligible for unemployment benefits if you are quarantining because of close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19, and are not being paid by your employer during this time. Eligibility for unemployment benefits is determined by state law and the specific circumstances of your situation, so it’s best to contact your state’s unemployment insurance program to find out if you qualify. They may also have information on how to apply for benefits if you are eligible. It’s important to note that some states have specific provisions in place related to COVID-19 and unemployment benefits, so it’s important to check the most up-to-date information on your state’s program.
When applying for unemployment, you will typically need to provide information about your recent employment, the reason you are no longer working, and your eligibility for benefits. Some states have specific requirements for individuals who are out of work due to a medical condition, so it’s important to check the most up-to-date information on your state’s program.
In some cases, individuals who are out of work due to a medical condition may be eligible for disability benefits instead of unemployment benefits. Your state’s unemployment insurance program or a local Social Security office can provide more information on your options.
