New Law Regarding First Payable Week
of Unemployment Benefits

The first week determined to be payable for any initial unemployment claim with a Benefit Year Beginning of January 3, 2010 or later will not be paid and will be served as a “waiting week” per new Legislation. You must still file timely for the week and all weeks for which you wish to receive benefits after opening your initial claim. The department will determine which week will be served as the waiting week. This waiting week will not reduce your total available benefits. The Maximum Benefit Amount for a new claim remains 26 times your established Weekly Benefit Amount. This law does not apply to claims that already exist or to special program claims, such as Emergency Unemployment Compensation, Trade Act, Disaster Unemployment or Extended Benefits

1099 Forms for 2009

The 1099 forms that detail unemployment benefits paid during the calendar year 2009 will be generated and mailed Friday, January 29, 2010. Once generated, the form will be available in your correspondence inbox from the claim Main Menu, which you may print at any time.
