Q) I was trying to file my unemployment info on the phone and ran into dead ends. Then I tried online, I think I got no further, Please HELP.
A) I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble filing for unemployment. Here are some steps you can follow to file your claim online:
- Go to your state’s unemployment website. You can find the website by doing an online search for “unemployment [your state]”.
- Look for a button or link that says “File a Claim” or “Apply for Benefits”. Click on it.
- Follow the prompts to fill out your personal information, work history, and reason for unemployment.
- Make sure to provide accurate information, as any discrepancies or errors can delay your claim or result in denial of benefits.
- Submit your claim online and wait for a confirmation number or email to ensure that your claim has been received.
If you continue to have issues with filing online, you can try calling your state’s unemployment office for assistance or to file your claim over the phone.
Unemployment offices get a lot of calls daily as there are currently millions of people unemployed and filing claims. I recommend calling again and if after several attempts you are not successful visit your nearest unemployment office and speak with a counselor. They will assist you in completing your application.
