Do you have a Question about Unemployment?

The specific steps for checking the status of your unemployment request will vary depending on the state or jurisdiction where you filed your claim. However, the general process is usually similar.

Here are some general steps you can follow to check the status of your unemployment request:

Visit the website of the unemployment agency in your state or jurisdiction.
Create an online account or log in to your existing account.
Once you are logged in, you should be able to see the status of your claim.
The status of your claim will be one of the following:

Pending: This means that your claim is being processed and has not yet been decided.
Approved: This means that you have been determined to be eligible for unemployment benefits.
Denied: This means that you have been determined to be ineligible for unemployment benefits.
Discontinued: This means that your unemployment benefits have been stopped.
If your claim is pending, you may be able to see additional information about the status of your claim, such as what additional information the agency needs from you. You may also be able to see a projected date for when you can expect a decision on your claim.

If your claim has been approved, you will be able to see information about your weekly benefit amount, the number of weeks you are eligible to receive benefits, and how to certify for your benefits.

If your claim has been denied, you will be able to see the reason for the denial and information about how to appeal the decision.

If your claim has been discontinued, you will be able to see the reason for the discontinuation and information about how to reapply for benefits if you are eligible.

If you are unable to find the information you need online, you can contact the unemployment agency by phone or in person. The contact information for the unemployment agency in your state or jurisdiction can usually be found on the agency’s website.
