It takes about three weeks to process a new claim for unemployment benefits and issue payment to eligible workers. Payment information is updated daily and is available through your UI Online account. You can also call the Unemployment Self-Service Phone Line at 1-866-333-4606.
If you cannot work due to health reasons, personal responsibilities, or other limitations, your benefits may be disqualified. Additionally, if you refuse a suitable job offer without a valid reason, you could lose your unemployment benefits. You will also need to prove that you are actively searching for employment.
To qualify, employees must be involuntarily unemployed. Involuntary employment typically includes layoffs, company closures, or reduced work hours. Those who voluntarily quit their jobs without good cause or whose employer terminated them for misconduct are generally ineligible for benefits.
Requirements to Apply Have a Social Security number, or have authorization to work in the United States (if not a US citizen). Have earned enough wages during the base period. Be fully or partially unemployed. Be unemployed through no fault of your own. Be physically able and available to work.
Unemployment benefits are temporary income for eligible workers who lost their job (or had hours reduced) through no fault of their own. You get from $40 to $450 each week, depending on how much you earned in the past 18 months.
