Already filed for unemployment and just want to check your status because you're getting anxious waiting about? Well there are a couple of ways to check up on your unemployment claim:
- First off, it depends what state you're in. Every state has a slightly different system. What is always the same is that you will need to track your claim through the offical website, using details provided on your original letter.
For example, California allows applicants to track claims using the following website: http://www.edd.ca.gov/
Texans should go here for their Unemployment Benefit Services: https://services.twc.state.tx.us/UBS/changeLocale.do?language=en&country=US&page=/security/logon.do - Most unemployment departments also have social media presence these days, so look them up on Facebook and Twitter and message them directly.
Because it is out in the public eye, they sometimes feel obliged to help you a little bit quicker, although this isn't always the case.
