Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees
Purpose
The Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees program provides benefits
for eligible unemployed former civilian Federal employees. The program is
administered by States as agents of the Federal government. This program is
operated under the same terms and conditions that apply to regular State
Unemployment Insurance (see State Unemployment Insurance). In general, the law
of the State in which your last official duty station in Federal civilian
service was located will be the State law that determines eligibility for
unemployment insurance benefits.
There is no payroll deduction from a Federal employee's wages for
unemployment insurance protection. Benefits are paid for by the various Federal
agencies.
Benefits
The law of the State (under which the claim is filed) determines benefit
amounts, number of weeks benefits can be paid, and other eligibility conditions.
Filing a Claim
You should contact your State Unemployment Insurance agency as soon as
possible after becoming unemployed. In some States, you can now file a claim by
telephone.
