What website can you use to check an unemployment claim?

About.com has a state-by-state list of links to unemployment administration sites, or simply searching the relevant state government website may also yield useful results. All U.S. state governments maintain an unemployment administration website but may vary in what information they make available online.

In states where it is not possible to check an unemployment claim online, the relevant website will contain contact information, such as a phone number or walk-in locations where claimants can inquire about the status of claims. The U.S. Department of Labor also maintains a website, which elucidates eligibility requirements for unemployment insurance in a more general manner.
