ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
Please apply for unemployment insurance benefits online or call 1-877-345-3484. DO NOT go into a WorkSource center to apply for unemployment insurance as they cannot process those claims. Due to unusually high volume of applications, please expect longer than usual wait times on calls. If the website goes down for a period of time – please be persistent and check back later to submit your application.
WorkShare
A program that helps businesses avoid layoffs by leveraging unemployment insurance (UI) to subsidize a portion of lost wages.
