The unemployment claim form
You will be asked seven questions each week you file a claim. Please answer them carefully and correctly so that you don’t receive overpayments and possibly have your claim cancelled.
- Were you able and available for work, and actively seeking full-time work?
- Did you refuse work or rehire, quit a job, or get discharged from a job?
- Did you receive your first payment from a pension, other than Social Security, that you haven’t reported or was there a change in the amount previously reported?
- Did you start school, college or training not reported to the Department of Labor?
- Did you receive vacation pay, severance pay, or workers’ compensation benefits not reported to the Labor Department?
-
Did you work full-time or part-time for an employer, are self-employed, or returned to full-time work during the week ending last Saturday?
- If you returned to full-time work during the previous week, do not file a weekly claim.
- Did you change your mailing address since you last filed a claim?
