UCFE: I was recently laid off from a civilian position with the federal government. Am I eligible for Unemployment Insurance (UI)?
Federal civilian employees who become unemployed due to no fault of their own can apply for Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees (UCFE).
You should file a Missouri UCFE claim if:
- Your last official duty station was in Missouri, or,
- You are a Missouri resident, and your last official duty station was outside of the United States, or;
- You are a Missouri resident who worked for a federal employer in another state, and then worked in non-federal employment in Missouri.
NOTE: Your duty station is listed on your SF-50.
If none of those three criteria apply to you, you should apply for UCFE in the U.S. state or district where your duty station is located or in your state or district of residence if your duty station was outside of the U.S. or if you worked for a federal employer in another state and then worked in non-federal employment in another state.
