Obtaining Claim Information

General information about unemployment insurance, such as "How do you file an unemployment claim?" or "What do you do if you miss an appointment?" is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. At the end of each general topic, you will have the option of speaking to an agent when you call 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

Note:  The Department of Labor and Workforce Development has expanded hours due to high call volume.  The hours of operation are subject to change when call volume decreases or system maintenance is required.

To obtain general information about unemployment insurance about your unemployment claim, you may call the claim information number (for the One-Stop Career Center that provides reemployment services in your area) or the Reemployment Call Center that serves your One-Stop office.  Occasionally, a technical problem may occur at the claim information number you are calling. If that happens, you may call any of the other claim information numbers for the other One-Stop Career Centers.
