How to File for Unemployment in Your State

To ease and expedite your filing for unemployment insurance, we have pulled together links, tips and contact information from the states we do business in. For all of those who lost their jobs based on the COVID-19 Pandemic, you must apply for unemployment benefits to receive them. Eligibility decisions are made by your specific state unemployment or workforce development agency. You will want to have the following information available when you apply online or by phone:

• Your Social Security number
• Names and addresses of all your employers for the past two years
• Dates you worked (use your best estimate if you don’t have exact dates)
• The reason you became unemployed
• If you are not a U.S. citizen, have your employment authorization and expiration date
