It has been two weeks since the federal government first shut down, and mass firings of federal workers have begun.
In response, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear is reminding displaced federal workers of a website created back in April designed to assist those experiencing layoffs from the federal government. The website has a number of resources including career counselors, virtual career fairs, job openings and links to unemployment benefits.
You can also talk to the career counselors by calling 502-564-8030.
Federal, military or postal employees who plan to file for unemployment insurance will need to have the following documents:
2024 W2 or final 2024 pay stub showing year-to-date earnings;
Last pay stub from March 2025 and June 2025; and
SF-8 and SF-50 (if available).
