Federal Unemployment Help

The Department of Labor has oversight responsibility for the Unemployment Insurance (UI) programs operated in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. These states/jurisdictions provide unemployment benefits to eligible workers who become unemployed through no fault of their own, and meet certain other eligibility requirements.

Social Security Benefits

Our benefits are there for you when you:

  • Age and retire
  • Can't work because of a disability
  • Lose a spouse (or a young child loses a parent)
  • Have difficulty paying for essentials like food, clothing, and a home

We'll tell you which ones you may be eligible for. The answers you share today help us understand what's going on in your life right now. We can't determine if you'll become eligible in the future.
