@universe2014,

"A person would be eligible for it if they lost employment, or experienced a reduction in employment, due to a natural disaster."
Both conditions are met re 'due to'.

A person would be eligible for it if they lost employment; or experienced a reduction in employment due to a natural disaster.
Only the second condition is met re 'due to'.
