The Unemployment Insurance Services Division of Iowa Workforce Development provides services to businesses, workers and the citizens of Iowa by collecting unemployment insurance taxes, maintaining the Iowa Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund, and making payments to eligible jobless workers.
Unemployment insurance replaces part of the income workers lose when they become unemployed through no fault of their own. Unemployment insurance softens the economic impact job losses have on communities by maintaining purchasing power in the area where workers live.
Employers pay the money for unemployment benefits. No contributions for unemployment insurance come from employee wages.
Anyone who is no longer working, or is working substantially fewer hours, and has worked and earned wages in work covered by unemployment insurance (this determination is made by Iowa Workforce Development) in the last 15 to 18 months may file an application for unemployment insurance benefits.
