The Idaho Department of Labor recognizes the impact of the coronavirus on employers and workers, and we are here to assist. We continue to offer services online and by phone. We will update this web page with resources and information for you as it becomes available.

Unemployment Insurance Claimants and Job Seekers

Idaho discontinued all federal CARES Act unemployment assistance programs week ending June 19, 2021.

Additional information is available here.

  • Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA). PUA is unemployment for self-employed, workers with denied issues.
  • Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC). PEUC is the extension that adds weeks to exhausted unemployment benefits.
  • Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC). FPUC is the temporary emergency increase of $300 per week.

We are here to assist with your work search. Schedule an in-person or phone appointment with a workforce consultant by completing this form.
