Checking on a Claim
The best way to check on your claim is by logging into our Online Claim System.
It is taking us a minimum of two weeks to process regular Unemployment Insurance (UI) claims and Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) initial claims.
If it has been fewer than two weeks since you applied for UI or PUA, please do NOT contact us yet. We are processing your initial claim. Contacting us before the minimum processing time has passed will not help you get benefits faster. Instead, it slows down our ability to process claims for everyone.
If it has been more than two weeks since you submitted your initial claim and you have not heard from us, please fill out the Contact Us form and a specialist will reach out to help you.
