Who is Eligible for DUA?
When a major disaster has been declared by the
President, DUA is generally available to any unemployed
worker or self-employed individual who lived, worked, or
was scheduled to work in the disaster area at the time of
the disaster; and due to the disaster:
• no longer has a job or a place to work; or
• cannot reach the place of work; or
• cannot work due to damage to the place of work; or
• cannot work because of an injury caused by the
disaster.
An individual who becomes the head of household and
is seeking work because the former head of household
died as a result of the disaster may also qualify for DUA
benefits.
