Keep This Form
Please ensure that you read both sides of this form prior to ling a claim for unemployment benets. If
you become unemployed, this information may help to determine your unemployment benet entitlement.
When to le a claim for unemployment benets:
A claim for unemployment benets begins the week it is led. Therefore, you should le your claim for benets during your rst
week of unemployment.
To receive unemployment benets, you must both be eligible and qualied. You must:
File a claim, and report for benets as directed by the Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA).
Register for work each time a new, additional or re-opened claim is led as directed by the UIA.
Have sufcient earnings in the past 18 months.
Be able to work.
Be available for work. You must immediately inform the UIA and all base period employers of any changes to your contact
information (mailing address and telephone number) and respond to all UIA requests to update your contact information.
If directed by the UIA, appear at a specied location provided in a mailed notice for an evaluation of your eligibility for
unemployment benets.
If requested by the UIA, provide a statement of wages (wage afdavit) for purposes of calculating your unemployment
benets as state law requires that you produce evidence of those wages (pay stubs, W-2, employer payroll records, etc.).
Be actively engaged in seeking work.
Conduct a systematic and sustained work search effort and provide proof of those efforts by submitting your work search
efforts as directed by the UIA.
To le a claim for benets, you will need the following:
1. This form and any similar forms you received from any employer in the past 18 months, or pay stubs with employer
name, employer payroll record, or W-2 Form.

the United States.
5. Name(s) of employer(s), date(s) of employment, and reason for separation from each employer you worked for in the
