What must a claimant do to claim benefits?
Claimants are encouraged to register for work at a State Employment office and file a claim in order to establish unemployment benefit rights. A notice is mailed to the last covered employer for whom the claimant worked at least 15 working days. The claimant must continue to file claims as directed by the Employment Service. On each continued claim filed, the claimant must certify as to his/her eligibility to receive unemployment compensation.
