Small Business Development Center -- Special Programs

SEAP is jointly funded by the State of New York and the Federal Government. Operated by the State's Department of Labor, it enables qualified unemployment compensation recipients to start their own business while maintaining their unemployment benefits. The business start-up becomes their full time effort and they are not required to search for, or accept full-time employment.
