Unemployed??? 599 Program

If you were recently unemployed and are receiving unemployment insurance in NYC, you may be eligible to get into the 599 Program. 

There were students in my class that qualified for it and the Nursing Department supported them in filing the paperwork.

First contact the department of labor and make sure you qualify. 

If you do then get the necessary paperwork and take it to the Dean so she can sign off on it.

If you get in, the city will give you your unemployment benefits for the remainder of the time you're in the program.  

No more going to meetings.  Or proving you're looking for work.

Check below for eligibility:
