If you do not file for unemployment for a week (usually Sun-Sat), then you have to call the unemployment office and request a representative to manually enter that week. In most cases they will be able to enter the information, however if they want to be difficult they can deny you or put your claim on hold to go through the adjudication process. If it is your first time, they will more than likely grant your request and give you a warning. You do have the entire week to claim, and the best thing for you to do in the future is to file the exact time each week so you do not forget. Schedule the time/day in your phone or calendar so this does not happen again.
what can I do if I forgot to call on given day
I did not know I had to file weekly for my unemployment I filed for the first week what do I need to do to file for the rest if the weeks.

In most cases, that amount would exceed your weekly benefits and you would not receive unemployment for that week. They subtract your income from that week's benefits.
The waiting week is for formal unemployment. Not for discipline reasons.
Normally they will backdate a claim no further back than Sunday of the week you file, so file ASAP. See the Related Link below.
You can file for unemployment as soon as you are laid off.
In the unfortunate event that you lose your job, you can file for unemployment insurance. Unemployment insurance will provide an income each week that will help with bills and other necessities until you can find a more permanent job. Keep in mind that unemployment insurance only lasts for a set amount of weeks and after the time period is up, you will no longer be eligible to receive benefits. Remember to file each week so that you will receive payment on time.
(May, 2009) THEY PASSED FOR SURE and it goes to full house it should be signed this week
Apparently not. For unemployment, you have to be ready, willing, and able to go to work immediately and at a full time job. You are apparently still employed, but sick for a week. If you qualified for workers compensation, your first week is not paid (and you are out for only a week) plus it has to be job injury related, which you did not indicate that. See the Related Link below for more information.
The maximum unemployment benefit you can receive in the state of Virginia is $358. In order to receive this amount you have to have worked and earned an acceptable amount of money in the qualifying quarters.
Two days after you claim after 2am. The bank said my money is posted every week at 12:04am but I discovered last week it is not available til after 2am
Unemployment helps when you have been fired, laid off, or discharged in any way. Depending on the state your in depends on how you file the Unemployment, although I assume most states have an online system similar to NJ's. After you file you will get more information about the unemployment claim, and approx figures as to what your "benefit amount" would be, basically how much you will earn per week. The "benefit amount" is based on about 60% of your pre tax income from the most recent quarter (meaning Jan- Mar, Apr-Jun) and so on. Once you start your claim the Unemployment agency will guide you through the rest of the process. You will even have to attend a class as to how Unemployment works and how to use your states job locating site. They will help you create a resume and everything. For the unemployed person, unemployment can lead to depression and low self-esteem, not to mention homelessness. But unemployment doesn't just affect the unemployed (people without jobs who are seeking work). Unemployment leads to increased crime and domestic violence. Also, high unemployment means that the government has to make lots of welfare payments -- with money that comes from taxpayers. In short, unemployment affects EVERYONE.
With the recent downturn in the economy and the loss of jobs, people are turning to unemployment insurance to make a living. Unemployment insurance is provided through each state, and it is a fund that you as the employee actually pay into. The company you are working for will send in money to the state for unemployment. This money aids in the unemployment fund for the state, allowing you to draw unemployment insurance. The length of time you receive unemployment insurance depends on the state you live in as well. Unemployment insurance is a safety net for those who are working and lose their job through no fault of their own. The longer you work at a job before you are laid off or the business closes, the more money you will make each week on unemployment. When you lose your job you can go to your local unemployment office to file for unemployment insurance. The only way you will be able to draw is if you were not at fault for losing your job. Once all the paperwork has been filed and the unemployment has been approved, you will need to file each week in order to receive payment. You can file each week that you are unemployed by calling the state phone number or logging in on the internet. You will receive a debit card that your weekly payments will be posted on each week. Every state lets people draw on unemployment for different lengths of time. The basic unemployment lasts for 20 weeks. After this initial 20 weeks is up, you will be routed to tiers of unemployment. The tiers are dependent on the unemployment rate for each state. If the state unemployment rate is at a percentage that is greater than that of the country, you will most likely be able to draw on all four tiers of unemployment. You will receive the same weekly amount when you switch to the tiers, but the weeks will decrease with each tier. You will need to keep filing each week after you have been transitioned to the tiers of unemployment. More information can be found about unemployment at your local unemployment office.
