NEBRASKA UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE

---

Nebraska Unemployment Insurance is an option for unemployed residents who have lost employment through no fault of their own. The State assists unemployed residents with insurance set by both Federal Government and State law.

Nebraska Unemployment Insurance Codes

UI amounts are determined by the amount you were earning before being laid off. Keep in mind, there are requirements to qualify to continue with, like how many weeks you worked at your previous job.
State benefits are generally offered for a 26 week maximum. It is important to note that when the rate is above the threshold, unemployed residents can qualify for an extension. The State of Nebraska will compensate you for 50% percent of the wage plan you've previously earned (in most cases).

In NE, unemployed workers are expected to continue to search for new employment
in order to maintain eligibility.
