Unemployment in the Commonwealth of Virginia

As an attendant in the Consumer-Directed Services Program, unemployment taxes are paid by your fiscal employer agent (F/EA) on behalf of your Consumer-Directed Employer to the Virginia Employment Commission (VEC). Should an attendant meet the rules set by the VEC, you may be eligible to apply for unemployment.

Questions? Feel free to visit the VEC website for more information at https://www.vec.virginia.gov/unemployed. They can also be reached at 866-832-2363; 8:00am to 5:00pm, Monday – Friday. As a gentle reminder, Public Partnerships, LLC (PPL) is your F/EA; your employer is the Employer of Record (EOR) for whom you work
