Unemployment Help Center

Samir from Albany asks:

Can I qualify for unemployment if I've lost my job due to a natural disaster?

Statepay support representative suggests:

If you've lost your job due to a natural disaster, there’s a special program designed to assist you. So long as you are unemployed as a direct result of a natural disaster (as declared by the President) and you are not eligible for regular unemployment insurance, you may qualify for Disaster Unemployment Assistance.
