How often do I need to file a claim for unemployment benefits?

To receive unemployment benefits in Idaho, you must file a claim on a weekly basis. This process ensures that you continue to meet the eligibility criteria and allows the Idaho Department of Labor to accurately determine your benefit amount. Every Sunday marks the beginning of a new benefit week, enabling you to file your claim for the prior week. It is important to promptly submit your weekly claim to avoid delays in receiving your benefits. Failure to file a claim on time may result in forfeiture of that week's benefits. Remember to provide accurate and up-to-date information, including your work search record, to maintain your eligibility throughout your unemployment period.
