So you filed for Unemployment Insurance. What’s next?

After you submit your Unemployment Claim, your work is not finished!

In order to be paid your weekly benefits, you will need to submit a continued claim. To be timely, you must wait until the week has ended and must file within 14 days of the claim week end date.

You can submit a continued claim online at wyui.wyo.gov, which is available to you 24 hours a day.

To submit a continued claim on wyui.wyo.gov, you will follow this path: click Continued Claim » File Continued Claim. Then you must honestly answer all of the questions according to your personal employment situation.

How do I know if my continued claim has been submitted?

The best way to know if your claim has been submitted is to check your Unemployment account online at wyui.wyo.gov. Here is the path: Click on Inquiry » Benefits » Claimant/Claim Inquiry. This page will show you if your weekly continued claims have been scheduled for processing. The inquiry tab will also indicate when a payment is made.

It is imperative to check your Correspondence tab EVERY time you complete a continued claim. The correspondence tab contains valuable information related to your claim. By checking your correspondence tab on a regular basis, you will be able to have the most updated and accurate information related to your claim.

Correspondences » Claimant Correspondences » Benefits
