WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER YOU SUBMIT YOUR CLAIM

When should you expect a check?

You should receive your first check within 3 weeks of the date you submit your claim. Note: excessive
claim activity during the winter months may delay payment slightly.

Once you receive payment for your first week, each additional week should be paid by the end of the
following week (e.g., week ending January 12th should be paid by January 19th ).

You may be contacted for additional information if:

- You worked in another state within the last two years

- You served in the military in the last two years
- You worked for a federal agency in the last two years
- You are receiving a pension
- You separated from another employer in the last 3 months

Payment may be delayed if:

- You have a second job and you did not provide earnings information for each week that you are laid off
from your primary job (in section VII)
- You were denied benefits on a previous claim and have fulfilled requalification requirements that need
to be verified. If so, contact the Department of Labor to request that this be done.
- You worked part of a week and your earnings for that week were not provided.

Questions about payment:

If you have a question regarding payment, contact the automated system using the number in your
calling area on the previous page. After you place the call, follow the instructions for Continued Claim
