Unemployment Compensation

The Unemployment Compensation program is available at no cost to you under Chapter 108, Wisconsin Statutes. This program provides compensation to you for a limited period if you become unemployed. If you voluntarily terminate your job, or you are dismissed for cause, you may not be eligible for benefits. If you file a claim for unemployment benefits, you are required to register for work with your local Job Service office. In addition, you must be physically able to work and substantially available for work in the general labor market.

If you have questions regarding the Unemployment Compensation program, contact one of the Milwaukee Job Service Offices.
