  • Have exhausted unemployment benefits within the past four years
  • Formerly self-employed and currently unemployed due to general economic conditions
  • Unemployed veteran discharged within the past four years
  • Unemployed or underemployed after having been dependent on another family member’s income, but no longer supported by that income due to separation, divorce, death, or permanent disability of the main wage-earner.
  • A vulnerable worker (at risk of being unemployed) who meets two of the following three requirements:
    • Your job is not in demand. (See the Local Area Demand/Decline Occupations list.)
