Federal workers in Colorado who are required to work without pay through the shutdown can now apply for unemployment. “They should not be denied the immediate financial assistance provided by unemployment benefits while being mandated to show up to work,” Governor Jared Polis said in a statement Friday. “I have authorized an emergency rule that makes all unpaid federal workers eligible for unemployment benefits, whether they are reporting for work or not.” Air traffic controllers, Transportation Security Administration agents and Internal Revenue Service employees have all been labeled essential workers, which means they can’t furloughed (sent home without pay until the shutdown ends).
