To receive unemployment benefit payments if/when your claim is approved, you must log in to your Unemployment Claimant e-Services account and complete your weekly certification each week you are unemployed. You may begin completing your weekly certification the first Sunday after the week you filed your claim.
Your weekly certification is how you tell the agency that you were unemployed and that you either did or did not meet the eligibility requirements to receive a payment for that week. This includes reporting earnings, and your four (4) required work searches (unless you are waived).
