How do I apply online?

Apply online by using our Online application.

What are the advantages of applying online?

• When you use the Internet application to apply for unemployment benefits you may take as much time as you need without feeling rushed.
   
• You can see the questions and answers and easily read the help screens before answering the questions.
   
• You will have an opportunity at the end of your claim to print a record of the questions and your answers for your records.
   
• Certain situations require additional information that we cannot collect via the Internet application at this time. You may be instructed to call a claims specialist to complete your claim. The information you have already provided will be saved and available to the claims specialist when you call.

A few examples of situations that required contacting a claims specialist include:

• leaving questions unanswered,

• changing your name,

• out of state employment,

• you did not work for one of the employers we have on file for you,

• your employer is a 'special' type.
