Participant Resources

STC plan participants are able to continue working instead of being completely laid off. If your company has an approved STC plan, file a claim for Unemployment Insurance benefits at neworks.nebraska.gov. STC benefits are paid based on a percentage reduction of regular UI benefits equal to the percentage reduction in regular work hours.
