What are the eligibility requirements for claiming unemployment benefits?

The eligibility requirements for claiming unemployment benefits in Colorado include being unemployed through no fault of your own, actively seeking suitable employment, and being physically able and available to work. You must have earned enough wages during the base period (which is typically the first four quarters of the last five completed calendar quarters) and be monetarily eligible. Also, you must register for work with the Colorado Workforce Center and make at least five valid job contacts each week. Applicants will need to provide accurate information about their employment history, including employer names, dates of employment, and reasons for separation from previous jobs. Additionally, individuals receiving severance pay may have their benefits delayed or reduced. It is crucial to regularly, honestly, and thoroughly report job search activities to maintain eligibility.
