Advice from Department of Labor for applying for unemployment insurance

ICYMI: We ask that unemployment applicants continue to follow the alphabetical filing system below.

If you can’t get through to file by phone/web due to the volume overload, don’t worry. Your benefits will be retroactive to the first day you were out of work. pic.twitter.com/lhGyij6WOm
