On December 31, 2013, the Emergency Unemployment Compensation Program (EUC) ended and has not been reinstated. There is no need to call the unemployment office concerning the EUC program at this time. If we become aware of any updates concern the EUC program, we will post notification on our website and on the phone system.
If you are calling because you did not receive your 1099G, you may not have kept your address current with the Department of Labor. The postal service will not forward this mail. You may view the 1099 information on the web at www.file4ui.com. If you need a paper copy of the 1099G form, you will need to speak to a customer service representative to update your personal information.
