Who can apply
The agency reviews recent wages, why work ended and whether you remain able, available and seeking work. A monetary determination alone does not establish every eligibility condition.
What help is available
Weekly payments depend on an approved claim and continuing eligibility. Report earnings and other required payments accurately.
Documents to prepare
- Employer and wage history.
- Job-separation information.
- Pay stubs or other wage evidence, especially if reported wages seem incomplete.
How to get started
File the initial or reopened claim
Use the claim link at Delaware DOL Unemployment Insurance.
Review the wage determination
Check that employers and wages are correct; ask the agency how to challenge an error.
Request benefits each week
Use the current weekly filing instructions, including WebBenefits or TeleBenefits options, and keep work-search records.
After applying
Read every notice and retain confirmations. Continue weekly claims while a dispute is pending, as instructed by the agency.
