- KANSAS STATE RESOURCES FOR INDIVIDUALS
- Expanded Unemployment Benefits
If you are currently unemployed (due to layoffs, furloughs, or reduction in workforce) due to
COVID-19, you may be eligible for expanded unemployment benefits.
- Summary of Program: If you are not working or working reduced hours due to COVID-19, you
may be eligible for Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits. The waiting week requirement for
those unemployed due to COVID-19 is waived. If you are unemployed due to COVID-19 and
have taken all necessary steps to return to work for your regular employer, you do not have to
look for other work. - Who is Eligible: If you have worked for an employer who pays unemployment taxes in the last 18 months, you may be eligible and are encouraged to apply. Kansas Department of Labor staff will determine whether or not you have sufficient insured earnings to support a claim for unemployment benefits.
