Many victims and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking must leave work in order to protect themselves, their families, and their coworkers. A growing group of local and national advocates has encouraged making victims eligible for unemployment insurance (UI) benefits when they are forced to leave their jobs because of their fear for their safety and that of their families. This fact sheet for advocates describes the issues and offers model language on domestic violence UI. Please consult an attorney to get an evaluation of your claims. The document is PDF format.
