In general a person is considered a dislocated worker if they meet one of the following conditions:
• They have lost their job.
• They have been laid off or been laid off.
• They are receiving unemployment benefits and are unlikely to return to a previous occupation.
• They are self employed but are unemployed due to economic conditions or natural disaster.
• They are receiving unemployment benefits due to being laid off or losing a job and are unlikely to return to a previous occupation.
• They are self employed but is unemployed due to economic conditions or natural
disaster.
• They are a displaced homemaker. A displaced homemaker is generally a person who previously provided unpaid services to the family (e.g. a stay at home mom or dad) and is no longer supported by the husband or wife , and is having trouble finding or upgrading employment.

If a person quitswork, generally they are not considered a displaced worker even if, for instance, they are receiving unemployment benefits.

Note that the financial aid administrator at your school may require you to provide proof that you (or your spouse) is a dislocated worker.
