Description of Program and Relief
Unemployment Insurance Benefits for Individuals Whose Employment is Affected by COVID-19
Individuals whose employment is affected by COVID-19 may be eligible for benefits under already-existing Arizona unemployment insurance benefits, which provides temporary income for workers who are fully or partially unemployed.
Pursuant to Executive Order 2020-11, the Arizona Department of Economic Security will allow the following individuals to apply for and be approved for unemployment insurance:
(a) individuals whose employer has ceased or drastically reduced operations due to COVID-19, resulting in reduction of wages;
(b) individuals who are required to be quarantined and do not have any paid leave, even if they expect to return to work after quarantine;
(c) individuals who leave employment due to risk of exposure, or who leave employment to care for a family member who has been infected with COVID-19; or
(d) certain individuals that are separated from work for other reasons related to COVID-19.
The Arizona Department of Economic Security will waive the otherwise-applicable one-week waiting period after an employee loses a job before he or she may apply for benefits. The requirements that the employee be able and available to work, actively seek work, and maintain daily job contacts are also waived.
