Summary
Companies such as Amazon, Google, and Spotify have announced deep cuts to their head count, leaving former employees without a paycheck. Fortunately, unemployment insurance programs offer support to certain people who have lost their job. To be eligible for unemployment benefits, you have to have been laid off through no fault of your own. You can typically submit an application online or over the phone. Benefits are subject to federal taxes and most states take them, too. There are other resources, too, for people struggling financially due to job loss.
