Who We Are
The Unemployed Workers Project provides free legal advice and/or representation to individuals who have lost their jobs and have been denied unemployment insurance benefits.
Originally formed in 2008, the Volunteers of Legal Service Unemployed Workers Project has relaunched in response to the COVID-19 crisis. We are providing free advice to low-wage, unemployed workers in New York who are seeking to access their government benefits, including updates as state and federal rules change
