The job occupation field is not working?
The job title field must be filled out before anything will populate in the occupation field.

Can I save the application in the middle of filling it out and come back to it later?

How can I tell if I finished filing the claim?
When filing the claim, you will know that you have reached the end of the filing process if you reach a page titled "My Job Matches" as shown below. Stopping the application before this page can cause your claim not to save in the system.
If you have exited the application and want to check from your dashboard to confirm claim was successfully filed, you can do so by clicking "Claim Summary" under Unemployment Services. If there is no claim on file, you will see the image below.
I filled the unemployment claim, now what happens?
The claim has been submitted for review, it can take up to 21 days for a claim decision to be made. During this time, you will need to log on and complete weekly claim certifications beginning the Sunday after you file the claim. If the claims agent working your claim has any questions, they will reach out to you. You can review the status of your claim by clicking the Claim Summary option under Unemployment Services.
