You can use the Internet Claims System if you are no longer working or working substantially fewer hours.

The system is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week with these exceptions:

• Nightly from 10:00 pm  to 10:30 pm

• Sunday, January 29, 2012 at 11:15 pm through Monday, January 30, at 6:00 am due to required system maintenance

• Due to the increased demand for services, the On-Line Claim filing application experiences peak usage on Sundays, especially during the period of 12:00 am (Midnight) until 03:00 am.  If you experience a service delay during these hours, please wait thirty (30) minutes and attempt to file your claim again.  If you file a weekly claim before 12:00 pm (Noon) on Sunday, the claim will be processed that day.  Weekly claims filed after 12:00 pm (Noon) on Sunday will be processed the next business day.
