West Virginia Unemployment Claim
The West Virginia Unemployment Claim initiative is intended to offer unemployed workers partial and temporary salary replacement. The benefits are only available to unemployed people who have become so through no fault of their own and show a willingness to want to get back into gainful forms of employment in the future. Employer paid taxes fund the program in order to supply benefits to whomever can meet the eligibility standards as laid out by the West Virginia workforcewv.org. The aim of UI is to stabilize the economy by protecting the spending power and financial security of unemployed individuals. The Division of Employment and Training of the Department of Labor and Training operates West Virginia unemployment claims.
