How frequently will I receive unemployment benefit payments?

You will receive unemployment benefit payments on a weekly basis. After successfully filing your initial claim at the Kansas Unemployment Information Center, it will take approximately 10-14 days for your application to be processed. Once approved, you can expect to receive your first payment within 10-14 days following the approval date. Subsequent payments will be issued weekly, typically on the same day each week, as long as you continue to meet the eligibility requirements and submit your weekly claim certifications. It is crucial to accurately report your work search activities and any employment during the week to avoid delays or interruptions in receiving your benefits. Keep in mind that weekends and holidays may affect payment processing times.
