File Promptly: File your claim as soon as possible. Delays can result in lost benefits.

Gather Documentation: Collect pay stubs, employment history, and reasons for job loss to support your claim.

Apply: Each state has its own application process, usually online, by phone, or in-person.

 

Follow Up: Once you've applied, you'll usually need to provide weekly or bi-weekly updates on your job search.
