§ 141 Unemployment Insurance Definition

• •It’s just a definition – it tells you what “unemployment insurance” means.
• •The definition applies everywhere in this division of the law.
• •All references to “unemployment insurance” should be read as “unemployment compensation.”

A state law says a worker can apply for unemployment insurance after being laid off.

Because of this definition, the worker is really applying for unemployment compensation – the money paid to people who lost their jobs.
