Where can someone view the status of an unemployment claim?

A state-by-state list of links to various unemployment administration sites is available on About.com where users can check the status of their unemployment claims. There is an unemployment administration website for all 50 states, but they may vary in the information found online.

In states where users are unable to check an unemployment claim online, the relevant website contains contact information, such as a phone number or walk-in office locations where claimants can inquire about the status of claims. The U.S. Department of Labor also maintains a website that provides the general eligibility requirements and information on how to file.
