The Employer Filed Claims (EFC) request on Employer e-Services allows you to file individual unemployment claims for any employees currently on a temporary layoff from your company. Submitting an EFC request will significantly speed up processing and result in quicker payments.
Because you are filing for them, the employees you provide on your EFC request will NOT be required to file for unemployment themselves. However, they must file their weekly certifications each week to receive payment if eligible. Certification instructions and information on employee requirements will be provided upon approval of your EFC request.
To submit an EFC request:
· Log in to your Employer e-Services account on jobs4TN.gov.
· Select the Submit an Employer Filed Claim link from your Summary screen under the Employer Information panel.
You may download the Excel template and add/upload your employee(s) information therein, or you may select Next and enter your employee(s) information on the request itself.
Once submitted, your request will be reviewed and, if eligible, approved. You’ll receive a decision letter immediately after completing your EFC request.
For questions or concerns, please get in touch with the agency at (844) 224-5818 or by direct message through your e-Services account (under the More… tab from your Summary screen).
