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.
