I lost my job. What are my options?

If you lose your job in New York, you might qualify for benefits:

• If you are laid off, you may get Unemployment Insurance to replace part of your income.
• If you are hurt or get sick because of your work, Workers’ Compensation can help pay for medical care and some lost wages.
• If you had to leave work because of domestic violence, the law gives you extra job protections. 

If you qualify, these programs can help while you look for new work.
