Labor.Idaho.gov/iw Website
The labor.idaho.gov/iw website is the official site of the Idaho Department of Labor. The site offers access to job search features, unemployment insurance filings, and more. On the labor.idaho.gov/iw site you can register for a job search, update your registration, find a job, create and edit a resume, and the site is bilingual, offering access to those that speak Spanish as well. For unemployment insurance claims you can file a new claim, work on an existing claim, file your weekly reports online, check your benefit eligibility, get a payment summary, access your year end 1099 G, get an online eligibility review, and request direct deposit of your benefits.
The labor.idaho.gov/iw site has a forty five minute process for filing unemployment insurance claims. You will require your social security number, your alien registration card and number if you have one, the name of the business you worked for, the business’s contact information, the date you started working and your end date, and information about your total gross earnings. You will have to explain why you are no longer working and additional documentation may be requested. Once you have established your claim filing for weekly claims is simplified.

Before you can fill in a Idaho unemployment application, you must wait one week, and you must meet all the eligibility requirements which can be found on their website. The range of payment that you can expect to receive on a weekly basis is between $54 and $378 depending on your circumstances.
All approved claims are valid for a period of 52 weeks from the date you apply. You will receive your benefit payment weekly either by debit card or direct deposit.
If you are still employed, but your hours have been cut, you may still be eligible for a partial benefit payment, and you are advised to talk to your unemployment officer about this.
Filling in a Idaho unemployment application form is vital if you find yourself out of work in today’s current economic crisis. By obtaining these benefits, you will be able to support yourself and your family while you look for a new job. You can also register for work with the Idaho Employment Commission where you can search for new employment as it becomes available.
