What to Say to Clients:

If you have lost your job, it is important that you apply immediately for unemployment compensation. Please visit www.hopenow.com for more information about unemployment resources. Under Homeowner Resources, click on Resources for the Unemployed.

The U.S. Department of Labor has developed a Worker Reemployment Portal at www.careeronestop.org/ReEmployment to help you find information about how to apply for unemployment compensation and to search for jobs. The site also provides information about the employment and training services available to unemployed workers at the 3,000 One-Stop Career Centers nationwide as well as the location of the centers by zip code.

This information is also available through a toll-free help line at (877) US2-JOBS or (877) 872-5627.
