Where in Wisconsin can you file a weekly unemployment benefit claim?

To file weekly claims for unemployment benefits, Wisconsin residents should call the Department of Workforce Development or use the online benefits tools on the Department's website. Residents must register with the Job Center of Wisconsin or complete the DWD/Wisconsin Logon Creation process to utilize the online weekly claim tool.

Most weekly claimants can apply and file online. The Department of Workforce Development website also provides automated phone numbers for the Madison area, the Milwaukee area and a toll free option. Website and automated phone systems request information needed to complete initial and recurring claims. Initial claims over the phone provide call-back information to connect claimants to claims specialists.
