Alaska Notice to Separated Employees - Unemployment Insurance

Notice to Employees
As an employee of this company, you are covered by Unemployment
Insurance (UI). The UI program is administered by the Division of
Employment and Training Services of the Alaska Department of Labor and
Workforce Development.
The purpose of UI is to provide partial replacement of wages between jobs. UI benefits
are available to workers who are unemployed and who meet requirements of state UI eligibility
laws. You may file a UI claim in the first week that employment stops or work hours are reduced.
You will need to provide the following in order for the state to process your claim:
1.
2.
3.

Full legal name;
Social Security Number; and
Authorization to work (if you are not a U.S. citizen or resident).

As with any insurance, you must meet certain qualifications to be eligible for benefits.
You must have earned wages in jobs that are covered by the law, file your claim for UI, and register
for work with the Alaska Employment Service or your union. You must also be ready, willing and
able to accept suitable work. If you quit or are fired from your last job, or if anything is keeping you
from accepting full-time work, you may not immediately be eligible for benefits.
To file a NEW claim or REOPEN an existing Alaska claim for UI benefits on the Internet, go to
labor.alaska.gov and find “Quick Links,” then “File Unemployment Benefits Online.”
To file for UI by telephone and for all other UI assistance, contact your local UI claim center.
