The Louisiana Workforce Commission has made changes to unemployment to help workers across the state whose jobs were impacted by the coronavirus.

The changes mean more people may be eligible for unemployment insurance.

Those who may qualify include:

Workers whose hours were reduced because of lack of work due to coronavirus
Employees who are not being compensated despite their workplace temporarily closing
Employees instructed not to go to work, and who are not being paid while at home
