Required Documents

When filing a new claim, you will need the following information: SS number; full mailing address; including apartment or lot number; zip code and PO Box if you use one; phone number where you can be reached during the day; name and mailing address of your last employer, no matter how long you worked there (note: Your paycheck stub or W-2 form usually contains this information); date you began and stopped working for each employer and the reason you left each job; county in which you live; your driver's license number; if you are not a citizen or national of the United States, your employment authorization number and expiration date; if you were active duty military within the past 18 months, your DD-214, Member #4 form; if you were a federal employee, your Standard Form SF-50 or pay stub; any separation, vacation, or holiday pay you have received or will receive in the future. A record of your claim will not be established unless you are told your claim has been accepted. If you are unable to complete your claim application, the information you have entered will be saved for 14 days from the date you began filing the claim so that you can complete it later and within 14 days. After they verify your identity, you can begin filing your claim again from the point where you left off. Your claim is effective the week that you file your application for unemployment. If you do not finish filing your claim within the 14–day period following your first attempt, you will have to start over from the beginning and answer all questions again. In addition, the effective date of your claim will change which means you will not receive waiting week credit or payment for the previous week(s).
