Unemployment Insurance For
Ex-Servicemembers (UCX)

You may be eligible to receive benefits under the Ex- Servicemember's Unemployment Insurance Program, if you have completed your first term of service and have an honorable discharge, or if you have been discharged for one of the following reasons:

1. Governmental convenience;
2. Medical disqualification (pregnancy, parenthood, or any service-incurred injury or disability);
3. Hardship; or
4. Personality disorder or ineptitude (only if service was continuous for a period of 365 days or more).

Report all military service where you file your claim for unemployment insurance. You must present your social security account number card and copy # 4 of your DD-214, Report of Transfer or Discharge, when you file a claim for benefits.
