I’m trying to close my unemployment claim and I followed the directions from the previous comment, but since they have changed the website I need knew direction or can I speak to someone in the office?

A) To close your unemployment claim, the process may vary depending on the state you reside in. Here are some general steps you can follow:

1. Check with your state’s unemployment agency:

Contact your state’s unemployment agency to get specific guidance on how to close your claim. Each state may have different requirements and procedures. You can find the contact information for your state’s unemployment agency on their official website.

2. Stop certifying for benefits:

In most states, you can stop certifying for benefits by simply not submitting your weekly or bi-weekly claim. If you stop certifying, your benefits will automatically stop. However, some states may require you to notify the unemployment office if you find a new job. It’s best to check directly with your state’s unemployment office to find out their specific expectations once you find employment 1.

3. Follow the instructions provided by your state:

Your state’s unemployment agency will provide you with instructions on how to close your claim. This may involve submitting a request in writing, completing an online form, or contacting the agency directly. Make sure to follow the instructions provided to ensure a smooth closure of your claim 2.

Remember, it’s important to reach out to your state’s unemployment agency for specific guidance on closing your claim, as procedures may vary.
