If you become unemployed, you may be eligible for unemployment insurance benefits. If you are still employed but working fewer hours than your regular fulltime work week and are earning less than your regular full-time wages, you may be entitled to partial benefits.

Unemployment insurance benefits are made possible by taxes paid by this employer. No deductions are made from your paycheck for unemployment insurance.

As soon as you become unemployed, you may file a new unemployment insurance claim using one of the following methods:
1. Go on-line at www.iowaworkforce.org, click the On-line Services pull-down menu, then click File an Unemployment Insurance Claim. This option is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
2. Visit the nearest Iowa Workforce Development Center office (listed below).
3. Call the Unemployment Insurance Service Center
4. Some employers participate in an Iowa Workforce program that enables employers to file an initial claim for a recently separated employee. Check with your employer to determine if they are participating in this program.

Delay in filing an unemployment insurance claim can result in the loss of all or part of the benefits you may be entitled to receive.

For complete information about your unemployment insurance rights and responsibilities, or to register for work and learn more about available work in your area, go to www.iowaworkforce.org or visit your nearest Workforce Development Center.
