SELF EMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SEAP)
SELF EMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SEAP):

Have you ever dreamed of starting your own business? Do you receive Unemployment Insurance benefits?

The Self-Employment Assistance Program (SEAP) allows people who are out of work and meet certain requirements to start their own business while collecting Unemployment Insurance benefits. If you dream of starting your own business and qualify for the SEAP, you can have the financial support you need to pay your bills while you work on that dream! 
  • You can work full time on your new business while collecting Unemployment Insurance benefits 
  • You don't have to look for jobs while you work on your business 
  • Money earned from your business is not deducted from your Unemployment Insurance benefits 
  • You stay on track for success with training and counseling 
  • You get opportunities to build a network of support to launch your business
  • You must receive a written acceptance into the SEAP before you can start your own business while collecting benefits
