True" Hello! Today's video will be about the unemployment insurance application for Rhode Island. Just as a quick disclaimer, we are not professionals, and any information we provide is done to the best of our abilities with the help from Rhode Island's website listed right here. What is unemployment insurance? Unemployment insurance benefits provide temporary financial assistance to workers unemployed through no fault of their own that meet Rhode Island's eligibility requirements. Here are some COVID-19 related notes: If, at this time, you have been laid off or your hours have been reduced, you may be eligible for regular unemployment insurance. If you are an independent contractor, gig worker, self-employed, or a small business owner, you may be eligible for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA). PUA is a new federal program that expands unemployment insurance eligibility to individuals who are not normally covered by the regular UI program. That's unemployment insurance! For more COVID-19 related notes: If you were denied regular unemployment insurance because of monetary ineligibility, you may be eligible for PUA. If your place of employment remains open or you're unable to work as a result of COVID-19, you may be eligible for unemployment compensation. However, you can only qualify if you can demonstrate good cause for voluntarily leaving your job when work is available. For eligibility, you must have earned at least a minimum amount in wages before you were unemployed, and you must be unemployed through no fault of your own as defined by Rhode Island law. Additionally, you must be able and available to work, and you must be actively seeking employment. Actively seeking means applying for three full-time jobs per week and keeping a written record of these applications. Remember to save any documentation related to your job search, and you can use the work search log linked right...
