SPOUSE EMPLOYMENT 

Spouse Employment Assistance Program (SEAP)

The Spouse Employment Assistance Program (SEAP) is intended to assist spouses overcoming the difficulties associated with finding employment, especially during the relocation process. It provides comprehensive and standardized employment information and services at Work-Life Offices throughout the Coast Guard. Transition/Relocation Managers (TRMs) are available to guide spouses and family members on career planning, job seeking and resume writing, as well as to help them prepare for interviews and negotiate offers.

Office of Work-Life Programs : Spouse Employment Program - Unemployment Compensation

Forty-six states have passed laws that may qualify you for unemployment insurance (UI) when you resign from your position to move with your service member. Each state determines the amount of compensation you can receive, length of time, and criteria for eligibility. UI is often substantially less than your previous earnings and isn’t a replacement for earned income, but it could provide some assistance while you are searching for a new job.
