Providing organization

Virginia Employment Commission

The Virginia Employment Commission (VEC) administers the state’s Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits program, providing temporary financial assistance to individuals who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own. Funded by employer-paid taxes under the Virginia Unemployment Compensation Act, this program supports workers, families, and communities while stabilizing the economy. VEC connects individuals to employment services and training managed by the Virginia Department of Workforce Development and Advancement (DWDA), also known as "Virginia Works.”
