Can I get a verification statement proving I’m unemployed online or do I have to visit the office

A) The process for obtaining a verification statement proving unemployment may vary depending on your country, state, or region.

In some cases, you may be able to request a verification statement online through the website of the unemployment office or the agency responsible for handling unemployment benefits. These online services often allow claimants to access and download important documents related to their unemployment benefits.

On the other hand, some offices might require you to visit in person to request the verification statement. Visiting the office may involve submitting a formal request or speaking with a representative who can assist you in obtaining the required document.

Examples of getting a verification statement in some States:

• If you live in Georgia, you can log in to myEDD and select UI Online. Then, check the Notifications section of your homepage and follow the instructions to obtain a statement of verified unemployment benefits¹. You can also use the official notice in the mail showing your unemployment benefit award amount, total balance and weeks of benefits to prove that you’re unemployed¹.
• If you live in Oklahoma, you can navigate to unemployment.state.ok.us to verify your identity and submit your initial claim for unemployment. Then, you have seven days to create an account on OKJobMatch.com, and create and publish your resume. For each week you are unemployed, you must file a weekly certification on unemployment.state.ok.us.
• If you live in another state, you can check with your state’s department of labor or unemployment website to learn the methods available for requesting this document. You can also contact the service directly via phone or email if you have any questions.

To find out the specific process for obtaining a verification statement in your area, visit the official website of your local unemployment office or contact them directly through phone or email. They will be able to provide you with accurate and up-to-date information on how to request the verification statement and what options are available to you, whether online or in-person.
