Unemployment Insurance

The Virginia Employment Commission (VEC) is committed to guiding you through the unemployment process. We’ll help you understand the benefit requirements and navigate the system as you seek temporary assistance while looking for new employment. Our unemployment benefits program provides short-term aid to those who have lost their job through no fault of their own.
