Unemployment Benefits
If you have lost your job or been laid off, file an Unemployment Insurance (UI) claim.

It has information for both employers and people seeking unemployment benefits.
Manufacturer PPEs
Manufacturers interested in pivoting to PPE (gowns, masks, gloves, etc.) can contact the Carolina Textile District (CTD) for help in transitioning their production to prototype and producing medical supplies during the COVID-19 crisis.
